Hi. I have a mac mini and would like to share the mp3's and videos on my usb drive with my windows computer. I have enabled sharing, but only see what is under my user folder on the startup drive. Is it possible to share the external drive?

I've been wondering the same. Is there any way to do this without installing 3rd party software?

I'm looking for the same solution, wife wants access to photos and music on her laptop. I have been thinking about this http://www.simpletech.com/estore/?pa...search=STI-NAS
It's expensive and slower but looks like it may work.
