How do I get my home networked drive in Windows visible in finder?

[Bryan Schmiedeler]

I have a home drive in Windows that is on the network. I want to be able to see this in the Sidebar in the Finder in Mac. I have checked everything I can think of for sharing windows with the Mac, but it is not there.

Hi Bryan,

The network drives from the Windows Virtual Machine cannot be accessed through the Mac side, so it won't be displayed in the Mac Finder.

I guess that is ok. I can probably mount it within the Finder, right?

Mounting the Virtual Machine file (.pvm) will only enable displaying the Windows Virtual Disks (C: D: drives) and not the network drives. Windows network drives can be accessed only through Windows Virtual Machine.

I was able to solve this by mounting the drive directly on the Mac side.

Glad to hear that.
Yes, network drives can be directly connected to any OS, but cannot be mounted through Virtual Machine.
