Sharing a new, secondary hard drive
Hi, the lab at my school got a new hard drive, but we can't seem to access the new drive from any other computer over our network.
Is there something special we need to do?
It's a 200 GB Mac OS Extended drive.
Thanks!

Re: Sharing a new, secondary hard drive
Under most cases, if a user is logged into a MacOS X machine and has the drive mounted, it will appear under the list of mountable shares when you connect via AFP over the network.
If the hard drive is attached to a machine running MacOS X Server, you can add it as a explicit share using the Workgroup Manager.
If it is attached to a machine running MacOS X Client, you can use a small piece of freeware called SharePoints to explicitly add it as a share.
