StarWind Software

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.

Hello Florian,

Glad everything worked fine.

Actually we are now in the process of documenting CLI tutorials on using StarWind. Should be available in our whitepapers section soon http://www.starwindsoftware.com/whitepapers
