Re: Can't Reconnect an External HDD as a Network Drive?????


I told you I wasn't much of a Registry guy! I can't even find this in
Registry! I opened regedit and didn't see anything ending in IrpStackSize.
I found this key, the last part is not evident on my Registry

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\IrpStackSIize

(The Properties tab of the Error in eventvwr says the stack size is too
small. I think what happened is that the cooling pad I installed has an 8 in
1 card reading capability and I have a whole bunch of new "disk drive" items
listed now in My Computer and they have eaten up all the access.)

I don't know how to add IrpStackSize to this key?. I have never done that
and I'm really leery about trying. A couple of the references in the link
you provided above kind of get me there, but I'm not sure how to do it.

Would you be kind enough to take me through the process?
