HDR-FOX T2 no longer visible to Windows network following HDD replacement

[bozeman1941]

Recently, my HDR-FOX T2 informed me that the internal 500Gb HDD was showing signs of failing, so I bought a shiny new Seagate Pipeline 1Tb to replace it with. Installed the new drive without problem, configured the web IF as previously, copied the data over from the old drive; job done - or so I thought. However, now the unit no longer shows up on my Windows network as it did before, and I can't map the two USB ports to drive letters (with USB pen drives plugged into them, of course) as they were previously, because they aren't visible any more. I made sure Content Sharing was enabled, but still no joy. I can still access it via the web IF, and everything appears to be OK from there. My FOXSAT-HDR is still visible on my network, but not the HDR-FOX. Wouldn't have thought replacing the hard disk would have any effect on the network connectivity. Any ideas, anyone?

Have you installed the samba package?

Have you installed the samba package?

My memory is failing but wasn't there some edit to the samba config to make the whole disk visible?

Yes, I think so. Currently my Samba shares only make the Media tree visible to Windows (although, curiously, using Samba through network-shares-automount does access any USB drives). I set these things up so long ago I can't remember what's what.

I have mapped the T2 root as a drive without any faffing.

That's got it. I didn't realise it was installed before the change of disk!

Thanks!
