360 doesnt view all PC drives

[Jimmy1983]

As a new 360 user ive just set it up and I can only view my PC's HDD, anyone know how I can view all the drives on my PC?

Are the other drives shared?

Are the other drives shared?

This is the most likely culprit.

Yup got the other drive shared.

have you checked the permissions?

 

[Jimmy1983]

have you checked the permissions?

On my PC, the drives are set to read only.

 

[Frapple]

Read only for who?

Also, what OS?

Can the 360 pick up other drives? I always thought it had to be in 'My Videos' etc ?

On my PC, the drives are set to read only.

if, as your sig suggests you use win 7, try changing the permissions to "everyone".

if that doesnt work just change it back.

edit

not sure if this is correct, but doesnt the 360 media player use the pc's media library?, if so, you could try adding the media to your pc's media player. then take a look and see if it shows up on the 360.

probably wrong, im sure someone can clarify this..

yep your right, the 360 uses your media library
