I have an extra large harddrive in my G5 that I'm using to store various video files. It isn't the system disk, and I've enabled Windows file sharing, but I can't figure out how to access the secondary drive. It only lets me browse and access the main disk...
Any help would be appreciated. |

Browse additional drives by going to /Volumes on the main drive.
I haven't used Windows file sharing, but that's how it works for just about everything else. |

Yeah, that's what I was originally looking for. But it seems to have loaded the home directory only. It lists:
Applications Desktop Documents Library Movies Music Pictures Public Sites |

Hmm. Have you tried putting an alias to the second drive in your home folder?

Yep, even tried it in the Public folder, isn't recognized by Windows.

I didn't actually do this, but found it in the apple support site. I too, am a bit interested in this. Apple filesharing allows me to log into external drives so I rarely run into this problem. When I do use a PC, I just log on to the PC using my Mac and transfer it that way. But your situation does have merit and I hope that feature is added in 10.4. Here it goes:
