To Access LinkStation Data from a PC:

Your LinkStation uses the folder “share” to hold data. The folder called “share” is already

congured on your LinkStation. To start using your LinkStation, you can either click on

the Shortcut for LinkStation on your desktop, or you may just use drive L in My Computer,

which setup has mapped to the share in your LinkStation.
