Mapping a Drive on a PC"Mapping a Drive" is one way of connecting your computer to another network-accessible computer, a server, or a network drive so you can copy and paste files between your hard drive and the mapped drive. The network "drive" appears to be part of your computer system. In Curry the primary reason someone needs to do this is to access shared disk storage space on a file server located either within Ruffner Hall or available on the general University network. One such example is currydisk, the storage space made available to all Curry faculty and staff. The directions below are specific to mapping a drive to connect to currydisk, but you can use them to connect to any network-accessible drive (such as the Media share space for streaming video). |
|||
| 1. | From your computer's desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, then select Map Network Drive... (NOTE: with Windows XP, one can also right-click on My Computer from the Start Menu) | ||
 |
|||
| 2. | In the Map Network Drive dialog box, select an available drive letter (the first available drive will be selected by default, but you may choose any available drive letter you wish; "R" for Ruffner, for example). | ||
 |
|||
| 3. | In the Folder field, enter the full path of CurryDisk:
(note: all lower case!) |
||
Note the paths to other Curry shared spaces:
|
|||
| 4. | Click on the "Finish" button. | ||
| 5. | If you are prompted for a user ID and password after clicking Finish, enter your University Computing ID, preceded by “eservices\” and your E-Services password. | ||
 |
|||
| 6. | Once successfully mapped, you will see a window showing the contents of the space to which you have connected directory. | ||
