How to Map a Network Dirve in Windows 7 and Vista

Before you start mapping you need to make sure that the Storage you are going to map is Being shared in the Network. You can map an Additional Hard Drive, a partition, a folder, or an External Hard Drive

  1. Share the Storage and set the proper permissions.
  2. Click Windows Start Button, Right click Computer.
  3. Click Map network drive.
  4. Select the Drive Letter (I chose Z in my Video Tutorial), Type or Browse to the Server Share, Check Reconnect at Log-on Box if you want the Mapping to be persistent (remain after a reboot).  Click Finished when finished.
