Windows My Computer Drive Mapping

Evaluating StarWind & StarPort
I have installed S/W on a test machine, created several small disk images and made them available for connections.

I have used S/P to make a connection to S/W. I have used Windows Disk Management to attach on of the disk images to a local computer.

On the local XP Pro computer, I have used Command Prompt to access the drive, mapped to W: in this case. However, opening My Computer does not show me the W: drive.

This is not critical or a show-stopper, but is there something that I have done wrong that I cannot see the W: drive from the local computer.

Thanks.

An Update.

I installed S/P on a second XP Pro machine and it properly showed the W: drive in My Computer.

So I disconnected both images from both XP Pro machines and then re-did an S/P reconnection. I swapped images in an attempt to force Windows to not 'recognize' an equal device.

This time both XP Pro machines showed a mapped drive properly. I did not get the opportunity for the Windows Disk Management Wizard to initialize and select a drive letter but both images showed up as drives on the test XP Pro machines just like I would have expected.
