USB Hard Drive Share Failure

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Got a USB drive (Iomega 120GB) connected to a new PC. Reformatted it
to remove all traces of previous shares so it is empty. Put a test
folder on it with some data.

Loads up OK and works fine but when I enable it for file sharing I can
see it on all the network PCs but not access it.

Same drive file shares fine on any other PC but not this one.

Error message is the standard "not accessible" which is not entirely
true cos I can access other shared folders on the PC- followed by

"Not enough server storage is available to process this command."

I am pretty experienced with networks, I have done all the usual
checks and fixes but nothing cures this. I can share other folders and
drives on the same PC no problem but not the USB drive.

I have read some very technical stuff about IRP Stacks which led me to
this

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/756/

Tried changing the value in the registry but I am guessing at what it
should be and none of the range of allowed values has any effect, also
I am assuming its decimal as the paramaters are 1 to 12 but I also
read someone had fixed this by setting the value to 50? which is
outside the allowed range.

The only difference between this PC and the rest of the network is
this one has 2 x 80GB PATA & 1 x 80GB SATA drives attached. all the
rest only have 2 x HDDs on PATA. There are no other USB devices
attached at all

Can somebody give me a clue on what is going on and how to fix this?

TIA
