The new drive is a slave. I’ve gone to properties but can not check the box that says “Make the folder private.” Now what?

are you trying to do that on the root of the drive or a specific folder within the drive?

I'm trying to secure a folder on another diskdrive. Not the root I don't believe? I'ts a new drive I put into my computer. I conected it as a slave.

[dsenette]

you're not trying to protect the whole disk or anything though (i.e. trying to do the whole d: drive or whatever letter you're using)

[Mr.steve99]

Ok I’ve got a local C drive and a local D drive. When I view properties on D, and go to sharing it says “ If you understand the risk but still want to share the root of the drive, click here.” Ok when I click on it, I now can see the check box that says “ Make this folder private!” but its faded and I still can’t check it. It also asks if I want to set it up as a network. Do I have to set this drive as a network first in order to check the box?

[dsenette]

the "d:" part is the root of the drive....what if you try to set a FOLDER inside of D as private? is the check box still greyed out?

[Mr.steve99]

Yes, folders and also the drive is greyed out.
