Hi everyone

I have a Lacie 1TB thunderbolt hard drive connected to my mac book pro. My macbook is connected to my home DrayTek router. I also have a pc machine running Windows 7. Is there anywhere to share the thunderbolt hard drive so that I can access it on my pc? If so how do I do this?

Thanks

Daviesrj

Add your external HDD as shared folder there and if your network is configured correctly, the HDD should be visible as network drive in Windows too.
