    I've been connecting to my external hard drive using airpot extreme for a year now without any problems. However, I hooked up an additional hard drive to my hub today and I can't access either of them. Looking at aiport utility, both hard drives are listed but both say 0 users connected.

    Any ideas how I can fix this, please?

    Yes and no first you need to format the new hard drive in mac os x in order for the network to find it..

    Second you need to populate the drive which means you need to set your user account to be able to read both drives if you don't mac os x ignores them.

    Nevermind, I figured it out. Thank you! That worked great. Seriously, it was driving me insane!
