    access denied when sharing second hdd


    i just put an extra 250gb drive into my computer and it works great. but when i try to share it with the other computers in my house (an asus net book running xp, a desktop running windows 7 ultimate, and a junker desktop running xp) i always get an access denied warning when i try to open the drive from any of the other computers.

    i thought it maybe something wrong with my network and shareing settings but i can still access my shared folders on the c drive over the network, its just blocking my d drive. any thoughts?

    thanks responding to my plea so quickly, i finaly figured it out tho. i had set all the shareing settings properly i had just forgotten (or didnt know i needed to) to change the secuirty settings and permissions to allow access to the hard drive over the network rather then just acoss users on my one pc. thanks anyway
