Dear all,

Like most of us these days, I assume, I'm using an old HP Vectra VL400 for day to day tasks and serving files.

Since it just has an IDE interface, I decided to add a 500 GiB external USB drive instead of dealing with an internal SATA card.

Everything is o.k. with it. I can use the new disk as the bigger repository for files and programs it should be with the only exception of sharing the files over the local network.

I can share files between the Vectra and the other PCs in the LAN, as long as they're in the internal drive/s.

Has anybody find the same problem? Is there any way around it?

Thank you so much for being there!

Kind regards,
Antonio
