Windows 7 External Hard Drive and Homegroup

Seeing your external hardrive on the newtwork

Hi, I ttoo had thsi problem But i figured it out! All you have to do it Right click on hte hard drive and say you want to shar it with everone if you are the only one. Now It dosn't show up wear you think it should in the libray cuss it is not a folder you are shareing it is hard drive so it would be under computer that is wear you will see it. And funny but you wont see it in homgroup not sure why perhaps the same reason I am not sure why now go to your your main computer and click on network and you should click and open it up and you will see your external drive. It will say the letter of your drive and show it is sharing but when you click on the folder and open it should show the content of all your stuff now if you want to say put your fold in your favorites to easy access then right click on that folder and click on properties and in the target put the address of that folder in teh favorite folder and there ya have it at least that is what I did hope this helps ya. If for some reason it dosn't work tell me and I will see if i said anything wrong here and check back. Good Luck And of course make sure your drive is turned on.
