Linux ubuntu help needed please

[Christofy]

Hi all

I've recently set up a projector and screen. The htpc I'm using is a little acer revo one running Linux ubuntu kodi on it.
I have got a small external hdd for selected films that I'd rather not stream as you get compression.
The htpc picks up the hdd (ntfs) up fine and functions correctly. The trouble is when I go on my windows laptop and find the htpc on network it will show up the actual htpc but not the external hdd. I want to view it so I can do wireless file transfers rather than having to unplug hdd and plugging into laptop etc

Thanks Chris

Have you installed samba on Ubuntu?

And have you mounted it as a volume and set the right permissions for the user you're logging in with?
