Incorrect Function - Sharing
I recently added a larger hard drive to my system and moved everything from my old drive to the new one and changed the drive letter of the new drive to match the old one so that paths would not be broken for all my shortcuts, Lightroom folders, etc. Everything seemed to transition fine. However I'm trying to share my drive over the network, which before was a never a problem. I had removed the share to troubleshoot other issues I was having previously and decided to wait till I made the drive switch to reactivate the share.
Today I right click on the drive and go to properties and sharing. I noticed that the share button under 'Network File and folder Sharing' is grayed out even though it's not being shared. So I choose Advanced Sharing. From there I check the box to share the folder and press apply and I get this lovely error:
"An error occurred while trying to share F. Incorrect function. The shared resource was not created at this time."
I also tried using net share via elevated command line, but when I do "net share f=F:\" it tells me that my syntax is incorrect, which I'm pretty sure it's correct as I can use net share to share other folders fine.
Any ideas?
Btw:
-firewall is turned off.
-using net view does not show any extra share that shouldn't be there
-I have tried using different names for the share beside just the drive letter.
-sharing folders within the drive work fine, just not the fill drive itself
-I need to share the full drive because I'm mapping it on other computer to use a program which needs to retain the full integrity of the path (ie. if it's f:\foobar one computer it has to be f:\foobar on the other).
-EDIT: I tried net share f=F:/ (notice different slash) and got System error 1, incorrect function.
thanks.
