It can take from
5??“15 minutes to format the drive, after which it will be ready for use.
Step 4: Use Your Shared NetDisk on Other Computers
With your first network drive setup complete, you are ready to make the drive available
to other computers. Follow Step 2 to install the network drive software and drivers
and then restart the computer. After restart, you can register the drive manually,
as illustrated in Step 2, or import the registration information from the configuration
file you saved.
To use the configuration file you saved, copy it to the other computer(s) using a
disk or USB stick, move the diskette or USB stick to another computer, open the drive
in My Computer, then simply double-click the configuration filename (Figure 5-12).
The net drive management software will ???pick up??? the file as in Figure 5-13, to
allow you to register the NetDrive on this computer. Click the Register button and the
shared drive will be ???known??? to this computer.
Once the drive is registered, all you need to do is mount the drive??”in Read-Only
or Read/Write mode??”to be able to access it in Windows Explorer.
After your drive is installed and shared, if you manually register the drive for other computers,
you may wish to eliminate the write key from the configuration so that others sharing the drive
cannot add files to or delete files from the drive. To do this, right-click the NetDrive tool tray
icon, then right-click the name of the NDAS device you want to remove the write-key from and
select Properties.
