So, say I share my system (C) drive through windows (E.g. `properties -> Sharing -> Advanced Sharing -> Share this Folder`). I can then access this drive at `\\Comp\C` on another networked computer - all is well.

However, if I insert a removable (USB) disk, say "E", and proceed to share it the same way, when I attempt to access `\\Comp\E` (either directly or through browsing) I get an error:

```
Windows cannot access \\Comp\E

You do not have permission to access \\Comp\E. Contact your network administrator to request access.

```

Now, the permissions (`Advanced Sharing -> Permissions`) are set with "Everyone" having read access (same as the internal drive), so this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Also of note, I have an SSH server on my computer (through Cygwin) and even through SSH (logging in as an `administrator` user) I cannot access `/cygdrive/e` (although `/cygdrive/c` is accessible).

As a final note, the drive is of course accessible on the host machine (`E:\`), and also at `\\Comp\E` on the host machine.
