Can't find C drive or admin related folders
I'm starting to regret my choice in NAS, maybe I should've gone for a more user-friendly (beginner) one :x I used to be able to see the admin related folders such as C volume etc but now I can't....
I was having the same problem. I used to be able to see my NVX C folders from within Windows Explorer on Windows 7 64bit Enterprise Edition. The ReadyNas FAQ recommends using the "net use \NAS.IP.Address\c /user:admin" command at the DOS prompt, as suggested above. That did not work for me.
However, I was able to achieve success with the following version of the command:
net use x: \\NVX_Name\c /user:admin /persistent:yes
For some reason, using the ReadyNAS's name instead of IP address worked. The /persistent instruction tells the computer to reconnect to the ReadyNAS as mapped to drive letter x: even after I reboot.
Hope this helps.
