I assume that you used Query Analyzer for this, is that what you mean?

I won't read the article, but just be aware that it might be incorrect. Back
to the problem. Here's what I think is going on:

On one installation, the service account is the same as the one you are
logged in as. Hence, the mapped drives are the same. On the other, you are
using different accounts. The key point here is that mapped drives are per
user. And typically, you are not logged in using the same account as the SQL
Server service account. So what you perceive as a mapped drive is different
to what SQL Server does.
