I'm confused about this situation. I configured my Desktop to work on the shared home network, but when trying to access it from my laptop, only the external drive and a tiny part of the C drive are visible. Despite setting everything identically, my main C drive isn't reachable and the storage F drive isn't working either. I'm getting a warning that Windows can't connect to the drive you specified. It seems like I should contact my network admin. This is puzzling—why would an external hard drive and a small partition be accessible while larger drives aren't? There must be something wrong with the setup.
