Map drive not showing up
I am trying to map a new drive in put into my Ready NAS 314 4 bay system. I had a drive i call disk1 which I am able to map but for some reason I can't get the new drive which I am calling Disk3 to ...
Have you created any shares on Disk3?
If you are running windows, what happens if you run CMD and enter this?
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\nas-ip-address\Disk3 /user:admin nas-admin-password
Use the real NAS ip address and admin password of course, and be careful with the two different slash directions.
The first command will terminate any network connections (and it will unmap your other drives). If you are already using NAS admin credentials to map your other drives you can try skipping it.
The second attempts to mount disk3 as drive letter t.
It is not set up as an X-RAID. I am pretty sure it is set up the same way as my disk1.
This is what my volume screen looks like.

This is what i get.
Try rebooting the PC and entering them again.
FWIW, you don't need to mask 192.168.x.x IP addresses. They are not routable over the internet, so they cannot be used to reach your NAS.
