After having to remapp network drive, it does not show up in any of the drive displays.
Just got the RC build installed, everything works well except this little problem I ran into. I have a peer to peer network, usernames are on a file server and it does validate the user login correctly, it even shows my Vista partition, even if it did not pick up the label. \Ok, I have 6 shared folders I map to my system, I mapped them all and then noticed one was pointing to the wrong folder, I disconnected, waited a few mins and remapped the folder to the correct path.NOWHERE in Windows7 did it display that remapped drive, did everything I could think of to refresh the network, but no drive. it is my personal data drive which is mapped to P. I had to reboot and come back into vista since I was unable to accesss my favs from windows 7. I will edit post if the drive shows up after reboot, if that happens, well, I feel that should not be the way it works if Vista was able to remapp without a reboot.GlennReboot did not bring drive back, under mapped drive did not show as far as connected, when I tried to reconnnect it came back saying drive was already mapped. What I had to do to get mapped drive to show at all was use the selection, "connect using different credentials", I entered my same login as windows had used, after pressing ok, the drive window appeared and I was able to access it from all drive search windows. File sever is Server 2008 RC2.Glenn

Multi-booting partitions do not get a drive letter in 7 as expected behavior, and you need diskmgmt.msc to change that (no change back will be available)If you used a command prompt to map, you will probably need to rightclick the command prompt icon and 'run as administrator' to run the map command.Rating posts helps other users Mark L.
