I'm using a WD Passport external hard drive with my notebook, and have a folder on this drive I need to share on my Windows network.

Occasionally, when the drive is not plugged in, Windows appears to lose the shares, and I have to go in and share again after it's plugged in again.

Does anyone have a good way to avoid losing the shares?

Environment:

  • Vista Home Premium, SP2 WD MyPassport
  • USB-powered portable hard drive
