Mr. Peanut

It could be that you are asking LW to do too much, i.e. having multiple shared folders on different drives, although this is theoretically possible it could be straining resources on your PC.

May I suggest the following in windows explorer:

1) Only have one shared and one incomplete folder but have them on one of your external drives only, e.g. the Lacie 500GB.

2) Create named sub-folders under the main shared folder, that way LW will see primarily only one shared and one incomplete folder.

3) Copy and paste all files into your new shared folder, at this stage you can also copy and paste MP3s, video files, etc, into the named sub-folders as well.

4) Run LW and use Open > Tools > Sharing and update LW accordingly.

Remember that you are replacing your "Shared" folder on your C:\ drive with a "shared" folder on an external drive, and not adding additional shared folders.

This, hopefully, should now work (as it did for me).
