I read the info
I read the info at the sharepoints web page. But I don't have a file server, just a stand-alone G4. Also, it refers to sharing folders, but I want to share the entire drive. It also seems to have a lot of "baggage" that comes with it modifying a lot of basic Mac settings, etc. and I am not comfortable with all the changes that I don't understand. I thought that external disk sharing could be done without any third-party software but I may be wrong. It seems that getting a large capacity drive for my XP desktop and sharing it over my network would be the only solution. I'll leave the 300GB drive for the Mac only and get a 1TB drive to share over the network. Why does Apple make it so hard to do a simple thing? It should have "Sharing" on the "get info" drop-down menu, so you could click it, verify that you want to share the drive, and that's that. Hope they fix this in the next OS release.
