I hope I am posting this in the right forum

I am trying to share HDD's on a desk top PC with a remote lap top
I have 2 HDD's installed on the PC
One is a 1TB drive with 3 partitions. Drive letters D-F. 
The other is a 2TB drive with 6 partitions. Drive letters G-L



From the laptop I can see Drives D-F and open them. I can also see drives G-L, but I can only open drives G & L.
For drives H-K i get a message that says that I don't have permission to access the drives>

Here are the permissions for drive G & H



But here is the Security Tab for each. G gives permissions for Everyone, but H doesn't



Any thoughts?

You need both share permissions (Share tab) and user permissions (Security tab). So either you need to add Everyone to the file system/user permissions or when mapping the drive on the laptop specify a user with the appropriate permissions to log on as.
