Map root to windows drive - ReadyNAS NV+ v2
Hi, I have read lots of posts and blogs and tried lot's of stuff so please don't tell me to try google... Let's work out the perfect solution instead and thereby "become" a great google search-resu...
Hi,
Mdgm, perhaps that's what I'm doing wrong! Must have gotten it mixed up with the '$'... C is evidently a built in share and not accessed using regular networking methods which I was using... I will try as soon as I get home... Thank you!

More information:
Connecting to the ReadyNAS as admin will allow you access to the root of the data volume, also referred to as 'c'. The 'c' share is an administrative share (automatically built-in) and only accessible by the admin account. You can map a drive to it by opening a command prompt in Windows and entering the following command:
net use t: \\ip.address.of.nas\c /user:admin Enter the password for 'admin' to connect to 'ip.address.of.nas': The command completed successfully. Please note that connecting as admin gives you full root privileges to the data volume and can result in data loss. Use this option with care.
Additionally, this only works in “User Mode”, not in “Share Mode”.
