"The operation can't be completed because the original item for...can't be found."
So, I just recently installed Mountain Lion on my MBP and I also just installed Windows 8 Professional 64-bit on my PC (got it early through DreamSpark) and I have an external drive connected to my PC that is FULLY SHARED according to Windows to the best of my knowledge.
My MBP can see my windows PC on the network and when I click on it in the Finder, I am given two options "Users" or "ShareDrive", in which "ShareDrive" is the one I am trying to connect to. I can open "Users" and inside is my "Public" folder on the Windows PC which houses "Documents, Music, Pictures, etc." and I can move files in between the two computers through there but for some reason when I click on "ShareDrive", I am getting the message "The operation can't be completed because the original item for 'ShareDrive' can't be found."
I have tried everything I can think of from tweaking permissions, sharing settings, etc...but I have had no success. I have also searched around and got 9 pages deep in Google and found nothing that was relatively successful.
Does anybody have any expert advice?
