Connecting to an EFS Drive (Windows)
Perform the steps below if you’re experiencing problems with your EFS drive.
- Disconnect your EFS drive by performing the following: (Important: Record the EFS drive letter and name BEFORE you disconnect the drive.)
- Click the Start button and then select My Computer.
- In the My Computer window, right-click on the EFS drive and then select Disconnect.
- Click the Start button and then select My Computer.
- Double-click on the My Computer icon located on your Desktop. (If the icon is not on your Desktop, click on the Start menu and then select My Computer.)
Note: If you’ve mapped the EFS drive previously, just open Windows Explorer and then select from the Folders list the EFS drive you want to access. - In My Computer, select Map Network Drive from the Tools menu.
- In the Folder text area of the Map Network Drive window, enter the EFS drive you want to map in the format \\phoenix\efs# (where “#” is the EFS drive number you want to map. Note: If you use PeopleSoft Financials, you’ll need to enter efs22).
Note: If you’ve previously mapped an EFS drive, you can select the drive from the Folder drop-down menu. (Select the N: drive if you use PeopleSoft Financials.)
- Click on the Finish button. A window similar to Windows Explorer should be displayed showing the EFS drive you mapped. (In the example below, “efs6” is the EFS drive being shown.)
