    only one drive of two will share on LAN


    We have a pc running Win 10 that has one C drive and two more drives D and E . D and E have identical sharing permission settings and D can be accessed from the the other PCs on the LAN. E, however, gives a 'you do not have permission to access\\PC\e Contact your network administratorto request access' error . This is baffling as the permissions settings are identical for both drives. Can anyone suggest a fix or explain the inconsistency?

    Welcome to the forum. You should not share a drive as by default shared with a $ IE d$ which are admin shares so you have to pass admin username and password. When you say you have shared a drive that's only part of it the NTFS permission then kicks in which may block Access
