I used to have a couple of External Drives (HFS+) hooked up to my Mac Mini (10.5.8). I've moved house and have decided to move these drives into my Desktop computer which runs Windows 7.
I have MacDrive 8 installed and the drives work fine in Windows, I have the root of the drives shared on the windows computer and the Mac Mini has no problems reading/writing to these shares which are mounted via SMB.
My other Windows computers (3, 1x XP & 2x Vista) get permission denied when trying to access the drives.
Is there anything I can do to allow the Windows Computers to access the drives? Even read only would be sufficient...
If I share individual folders from these HFS+ drives in Windows, I have the Security tab in Windows which allows me to grant specific users permissions. But this is a poor solution that is not ideal!
In an ideal world, I would happily allow "Everyone" full access to the HFS+ drives.

) and then back to an NTFS formatted drive. Leaving me with Windows Shares (win7) being accessed with no problems from Leopard (10.5.8), Snow Leopard (10.6.1), XP and Vista.
