Homegroups isn't really set up to share the root of the drive.
From the root of the C: drive, You need to use the NTFS Security Permissions for this plus some adjustments are required from the Sharing tab as well.
The following link explains how to share from the root of the C drive. :)
Solved Windows 8.1 map network
If it won't mess things up by changing paths, I found the easiest way to share all contents on a drive on Vista and later is to create a new folder, drag all other folders into it, then share that folder. It worked well for data drives in USB docking stations. Also most programs on the drive would still run provided they were portable.
