So the story is this.....

We are both running vista. He had a folder of games and movies which were just over 400gigs therefore wouldn't fit in the public folder so we have decided to share the hard drive and ill just copy what i want.
Sadly we cant figure out how to share the hard drive.
So in a clear step by step can you please help us.

I look forward to your reply.

p.s Vista sucks haha

There is no limit to the size of the public folder. It's more likely the hard drive is totally full.
You can share the hard-drive by right-clicking on it in My Computer -> Properties -> Sharing.

If you cant share that one folder, what makes you think you can share the whole drive? PS, creating a share of your entire hard drive is a bad idea.

If anybody gets access to your network weather its wireless or over the internet your system folders are wide open, not just your system folders but every piece of personal data is vulnerable, web history, saved passwords etc..Unless your talking about two different drives, and your OS is on a separate drive which you didn't really specify.
