Another quick solution to this is mapping the drive. When you do that,
it basically treats the shared folder or drive like a local drive
inside that computer.

Do this on all the computers that you want to have access to the new
hard drive you have installed.

-Right click My Computer --> Explore
-Tools --> Map Network Drive
-Choose drive letter to use
-Type in the UNC path (\\servername\sharedfolder)

Once completed, you can go into My Computer and you should be able to
see a new drive resembling the network share on the 300GB drive. Peace
