Sometimes connecting to your MUD using '\\MUD\USBdrive' may not work.
       The alternative is to use '\\MUD.local\USBdrive'
       Or alternatively use the MUD's IP address e.g. '\\192.168.0.10\USBdrive'

For the technically minded a full article can be found on Wikipedia

If you have just configured your MUD or have replace the USB Drive and find that you can via the MUD, see the connected  USB Drive but Can't see any content (Files & folders etc.), then this will be because your USB Drive has more than one Partition.

Connect the USB Drive to a PC and use 'Computer Management' then ' Disk Management' to see the Partitions on the USB Drive.  You may be able to delete the additional Partitions and re-format the USB Drive; otherwise you may need to use a third party Disk Manager such as EaseUS Partition Master Free.
