cjloki Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 so you can only see a fraction of your desktop C: and you're looking for your desktop F: ?.. is that correct ?....if you're using win7 or win 8 or both, you ought to be able to access all of your networked devices thru the control panel "network and sharing center" under the network and internet link..."view network computers and devices"... if you are using the home-group options and all storage devices are shared then everything ought to be seen and usable...has your desktop F: drive been seen by the desktop operating system ? is F: normally available for storage ?
