Hi
Me on my dad's MBP. He got a PC and I try to mount theses drive on startup . I did a applescript... here it is :

mount volume "smb://pc/c"
mount volume "smb://pc/backup (d)"

It works well if I just run the script. The two drives are mounted.

I saved the script as an application and put it in the startup thing in his account. When it loads, the script stays in background, the drive aren't mounted. If I click on the script in the dock, I got the error.

An error of type -36 has occured

Anybody got an idea of what's causing this ? Any solution to mount the drives on startup are welcome.

You can actually drag the drives (once mounted) into login items. Give it a try.

-36 ioErr = I/O error

Perhaps power / interface problems?

The login items things didn't work.

I'll let the application on the desktop. It's not that hard to double click

Thx anyway chucker (you can actually suggest me another solution )

Well, my other thought is to explicitly put the authentication info in the URL.

Instead of smb://pc/c (smb://[host]/[share]), use smb://[username]:[password]@pc/c.
