Server drive renamed

Hi,
I have a network that was set up by my network guy. The network drive
accessed by all users is called the F drive. The server drive (drive D) was
somehow renamed or an image of it was created named as the F drive.

On all the computers connected to the network, the server drive is again
somehow renamed/or an image of it created, called the F drive. This procedure
was done when we upgraded the server, in an attempt to have all file paths
remain the same as they were in the old server.

I am now trying to add a computer to the netwrok, but don't know how to
rename the server drive D as server drive F (on the new computer.)

Can somebody help please.

Oren,

I'd bet your F drive is a mapping of the server D drive. You can map it one of
two ways:
1) From Windows Explorer, do Tools - Map Network Drive. Select F: for Drive,
and either hit Browse and browse for the server D drive share, or enter its path
in the Folder window.
2) Open a command window (Start - Run - "cmd"), and enter the command:
"net use f: \\server\ddrive /persistent:yes"
(less the "") (substituting the correct values for server and ddrive).

Need the exact path of the server share? Go to a working computer, and type
"net use" in a command window.
