Hello, I recently bit the bullet and upgraded to a brand new PC and Windows 7. After the initial boot-up I discovered that the computer would not locate the external drive attached to my router. Strange, especially since my Macbook can still find it. This is troubling, as I keep all my media on the external drive Hardware Router - Belkin N+ Wireless Router HDD - Maxtor 1-touch PC - HP Pavilion Elite HPE The machine is hardwired to the router, connected to the internet, located my networked printer/scanner, but not the HDD. Any tips/comments on a solution? Thanks! -JK

Try this as a test... I've currently experienced the same issue (along with many other people). Make a text file and save it to desktop. (using notepad). Now, hold down the shift key and right click on the file. Select OPEN WITH. See if you can surf to your shared drive using the browsing menu that follows. Let me know if this works; I have a feeling it will. If it does, I'm one step closer to figuring out what is happening and sending out a bug report. It's not a fix but a simple workaround for the time being. (it works for me but have been unable to verify that it works for others).

Hi, Can you ping the router on the Windows 7 machine? At this stage, I suggest you upgrade the NIC driver and temporarily turn off firewall on the machine for a test. Can the drive be accessed now? Thanks, Novak
