I have a External Firewire drive. When I access the computer that it is connected thru using Guest Access, I cannot logon to the drive.

When I login to the computer as a user, I can select the external drive as well as any other mounted drives.

How can I have guests access my mounted drives?

By default, sharing only shares your home folder. And that makes sense since those are the only files you have control over when you're logged in as a normal user.

Try SharePoints to add the external drive to your list of shares. It should do the trick.
