Hi,
I have an iMac with an external FW800 drive that I'd like to share to my MBP on the network. At this point I CAN see the external drive on the MPB if I go to:

Finder>Shared>iMac27Name>External Drive Name.

This makes the external drive behave like a folder.

Is there a way to make the external drive behave like a "drive", in the sense that the drive itself appears under "Shared", and not as a sub-item of the iMac it's connected to?

Thank you!
