Mounting A Drive to A Network Shared Folder

[zoeythecat]

Hi All,

We have a windows2003 file server that has a shared folder I need to connect to from a windows2000 pro workstation. I need to do this by mounting a drive (not mapping a drive). We need this drive to be mounted). I'm drawing a blank how to do this from the Windows2000 workstation.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
Zoey

You've lost me! What do you mean by mount a drive when its on another machine?

afaik you can:-

create a drive letter mapping to the share
access the share directly as \\servername\sharename
navigate to the share through network places/neighborhood

Why is a mapped drive no good? What's the intended use of the access to said share?

Sorry for not being more specific. We have software that we needed to install that required the drive to be mounted. I figured it out by reading through this article:

Again sorry for the confusing post.

Thanks for your reply

Ok mounting a drive refers to installing say a second drive and the OS doesn't see it. Then you would go to admin tools and mount it there. It isn't possible to mount a drive from another pc or server only mappping. You might want to talk to the software vendor to get clairification.
