When i contact the other computer, it is in it's "C" drive.
I added a second drive a year ago.
It is the "D" drive on that computer.
How do i get it to switch me to the "D" drive.

On the computer that has the D drive Click Start > My Computer > Right Click 'D' drive > Properties > Sharing > Click "If you understand the risk but still want to share the root of the drive, click here > Share this folder on the network > Type in Other Computer's D Drive (It doesn't have to be that) > Put a check in the box allot network users to change my files > Apply > Ok.

On the other one: Click Start>My Computer>Tools>Map Network Drive> Select a Drive name> Browse> Expand your workgroup> and select the folder you just added > Click Finish.

Now go to MyComputer and the remote D drive should be there.
