    Can access some drives on shared local network, but not others.


    I just joined following a google search on this topic but it seem that it is an expired thread but it is however the problem I have. I have three on a home network, a pc W7 pro a pc win 10 and a laptop win 8 I can see everything but can only access one HD on each and in no case the primary drive.

Are you trying to access the whole drive or just a share if its a drive by defailt they are shared hidden with a $ ie c$ to access you need to pass a admin account and password on the pc your connecting to
