I have a partitioned hard drive on the network. Everything was working fine, then something happened and I have to reset my router. Now my router will only find one of the partitions. I used to work fine. Do you know how I can find it?

From windows, I had an issue with trying to connect the the attached usb storage.

Trying to map to \\readyshare\USB_Storage did not work.... that is the the name that exists under the USB section of the router config panel. Trying just \\readyshare (notthing)..

Solution:

I stumble across a solution --- use all lowercase ie \\readyshare\usb_storage ... not sure why I tried all lowercase but glad I did. Hope this helps someone else as I see a lot of others were hitting the same.

So where is the video on UPnP connections, specifically for PS3. I am trying to connect my hard drive to the PS3 and it is not recognized through the usual windows media connection. Is there something else I have to do?

@dswg1980 your internal hdd's are almost always on when your pc is on which for many is all the time... as long as it has room to breath it shouldnt get to hot and for the most part ur golden. plus just get an external encloser and get a hdd with a 3-5 year warantee. it sucks to lose data but it does happen. Hard drives fail for all sorts of reasons.

Awesome video, very helpful! does this wear down your external since its plugged in and on constantly?

i have multiple laptops at my house...they all are connected to the dual band router via wifi...after i connected my external hard drive with the router, i accessed the external hard drive with the steps you provided, then i skipped to the second laptop ..its running XP ...i tried accessing the files by putting "\\readyshare" a pop-up comes up asking me for a user name and password...what do i do??

thanks
