From a Windows 8 machine, I have shared an NTFS partition, full rights. On the Mac, I can access it as expected.
However, if I right-click on the volume and select Make alias
, I will get the following message error:
The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code - 8060).
If I simply grab and drag it on the desktop, it won't complain. However, as soon as I access it, I get:
The alias "OS_X_Backup@W8" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.
If I push Fix Alias...
, I can see my W8 machine's IP under the SHARED items, and selecting it will reveal the volume. However, if I click on it, the Open
button remains greyed-out.
Searching online for answers didn't turn up any life-saving suggestion; this issue seems to affect older versions of OS X. Any tip appreciated; thank you.
