All students have 40mb of allocated space on a network server called "mydisk", which is called your Home Drive. When you login to a computer in the computer labs you should be connected to this and will show 'My Computer' as your 'H:' drive in the following format: 12345678 on mydisk\home (H:)
If your Home Drive is not mapped after you have logged in you can easily map to the drive using the following instructions:
Windows XP
- Open 'My Computer' either by double clicking on the desktop icon or the icon in your start menu.
- Go to 'Tools' in the Menu bar at the top of the window
- Select 'Map Network Drive'
- In the first drop down menu 'Drive' click on the arrow and select H:
- In the second drop down menu 'Folder' type in \\mydisk\home\12345678 where 12345678 is your student number

Assuming no errors were returned, you should now have your H:\ mapped to your Murdoch Home Page.
Note: You can only map to your Murdoch Home Drive if you are either on campus, or dialed up to Murdoch as your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
