Thanks for getting back to me. I have set up both C: and D: on the NT
machine so that sharing is enabled. I can see, connect to and use C:
and any of its subdirectories. D: is not visible on the XP machine
although it looks just the same as the C: drive on the NT machine,
i.e. you can see the hand under the ikon for the drive.

D: is the larger drive and I wanted to use it for backing up my XP
machine.

If there is any other info needed please let me know. I hope my
answers are responsive - I am not exactly sure of your notation above.
