YI have 2008 express running and have added a network drive. When trying to install a 2nd instance I get the error message the Path is not on a specified drive type. Any suggestions?

Wasn't able to pick up on any specifics from the article. I have a 64 bit install on my PC and a second instance installed on a network drive. The app works fine from m pc but when calling it up from the tablet, which is in my home group, it can't seem to find the SQL tables. I've tried adjusting security/access within the SQL MGMT app but to no avail

If it doesn't work from the tablet but works everywhere else, then the issue is on the tablet. It has nothing to do with network drive/etc.
