I bought an external 250 Gb usb harddrive to my PC and shared one folder from there to xbox's XBMC.
When I try to open the folder in XBMC, it says invalid handle.
All the internal hdd folders, that are shared, works in XBMC.
Can anyone help me, I haven't seen such problem in forums.

Now I have been having problems getting SMB to work, and posted a thread about it, but now you come to meniton it, my shares are on a USB drive too !!!!!!!

Damn, this is probably the root cause of my problems !!!!

Yup, tried that fix, (ie moving one of the shares to the normal hard drive) and the smb works, now .... all someone has to do is work out why an smb on an external drive doesnt work .....

I have windows XP Pro. The article is about win2000. I still tried with as many different values but nothing worked. Thanks anyway!
