MYSQL works nce and all when I set the datadir=E:/data/ etc or I can point to any local drives. But as soon I redirect the datadir to a network drive (Ie a mapped network drive). MYSQL fails to load up, as soon as I switch it back to a local map drive MYSQL works. Can someone please explain why this happens as soon as I change the mapped datadir parameter to a network drive in Win2k. Any Help would be appreciated.
