Share OS X Secondary Drive with Vista

Programming Add comments

Although I’ve found a way to share user files on my PowerMac G3 (B&W) running OS 10.4 I found it nearly impossible to find anything online that would allow me share the secondary drive on my Vista laptop.

Enter SharePoints. This program allows someone designate a mount point for your share in the System Preferences of your OS X computer.  You can browse to the share that you want and name the point whatever you want.  Make sure to enable Windows Sharing within the SharePoints pane.

When you head to Vista’s networking window type in your username and password and you’ll notice your new share point is within the bulleted points of the network share.  Enjoy.

There are much better instructions on the SharePoints page.
