I can share and view my external hard drive in the session that I activate
it
in, but when I shut down and restart, my external hard drive, that I
had marked for sharing, has been lost. The other folders that I marked for
sharing appear correctly each time. But I am not able to share drive D:
on
any computer.

I am running Windows XP SP3 through a Belkin wired router with a WDC
MyBook
500 GB external hard drive that only shares for one session.
All the file and folder shares carry over from one session to the next.
But I am not able to share drive D: on any computer.

My computer does not have a non-Microsoft network management program, nor
a
VPN, and in my Windows Firewall, File and Print Sharing is checked.

What should I look at next?

Thanks
