Sharing a substituted drive is not a good idea
and there is no point in doing it. Many OSs won't
even allow it. Create a share that points to drive D:
and your problems will disappear.

I tried the command again here are my results
It is a second hard drive in the computer it is not a usb hd. The drive
is a D:\ drive but set for a logical L:

I can see that share L: is not always present. Unfortunately
you did not appear to have executed this command:
net share L >> c:\share.txt
as I suggested, hence I can only guess what this share
is. I suspect it is a USB device that is not always present
or recognised, hence the missing share.

I have a logical drive shared and after restarting the computer the
drive is no longer shared. Any Ideas? Thanks
Do this:
1. Share your logical drive.
2. Start a Command Prompt (Start / Run / cmd {OK})
3. Type these commands:
net share >> c:\share.txt {Enter}
net share xxx >> c:\share.txt {Enter}
(where xxx is the name of your share)
4. Reboot the PC.
5. Start a Command Prompt.
6. Type these commands:
net share >> c:\share.txt {Enter}
net share xxx >> c:\share.txt {Enter}
notepad c:\share.txt {Enter}
7. Post the contents of this file into your reply.
