I am attempting to run a program that wants a file on the "L" drive. I have a
folder on my local "D" drive that is shared and in this folder is this
particular file that the program searches for.
When I try to map the shared folder on my D drive to the L drive using
\\server\share located in tools - map network drive
eg \\my computer\shared folder name
I receive the following error message
Attempting to create drive
The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error
occurred
"the network location cannot be reached......"
I am using windows 2000 on my IBM laptop.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated |

Another option is subst
subst L: D:\foldername
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\>subst /?
Associates a path with a drive letter.
SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D
drive1: Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a
path.
[drive2:]path Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
a virtual drive.
/D Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.
Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.
