Windows XP

Lawrence Tech provides every student, faculty, and staff member with a ‘personal share drive’ for storing files and data. These drives can be accessed from on and off campus. Storage capacity is capped at 300 MB. The drives are located in the Data Center and are backed up routinely.

In addition to personal shares, many academic and administrative departments have ‘departmental share drives ‘for storing data used by many members of their departments. These department share drives are also accessible from on and off campus.

The Instructions below explain how to map these drives on your laptop or desktop computer using Windows XP.
