Extended Drive Problems

Cannot Mount Extended Drives With Windows Explorer

If you cannot mount extended drives, networking may not be installed on SunPCi.

Try to log in to the network first. If you can reach the network from the UNIX side, then go to the Start menu in SunPCi and select Control Panel, then double-click on Network. Set up your SunPCi installation on the network. Refer to your Windows documentation for more information.

If you still cannot connect to the network after logging in, you will need to reinstall Windows 95.

To log in to the network, follow this procedure:

1. Start up SunPCi and enter your user name and password when the dialog box prompts you to log in to Microsoft Networking.

To log in to the network if you are already running SunPCi, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button and then select Exit.

2. When the dialog box asks you whether you want to shut down or restart the computer, click on Restart.

3. When the Microsoft Networking dialog box appears, type in your user name and password and press Return.

You will then be able to mount extended drives. Refer to Extended Hard Drives for instructions on how to use Windows Explorer to map network drives.
