[WIN7] Can't access share

$

Windows 7 Professional. I have a Netgear R7000 router and plugged an external HD into the USB 3.0 port. The router sees it. My network share that it created is named \\readyshare\USB_Storage So here's the dilemma. I have disabled a lot of services on my computer that I typically don't use. When I go to start, run, and type in \\readyshare\USB_Storage, it says Windows cannot access the drive. I've re-enabled: 1. DNS client 2. Function Discovery Provider Host 3. Function Discovery Resource Publication 4. UPnP Device Host Let me know if I can disable any of these. I like my processes to be less than 40. Any suggestions on what to try or what to re-enable? Network Discovery is on for my home profile. If I turn on file and print sharing, it keeps turning off. Not sure if I need to even bother trying to re-enable that. I also shut Windows Firewall off. PS. I bought a 4TB Seagate external hard drive. Will it wear out the HD if I leave it plugged into the router if it's constantly accessed? It doesn't even have a power cord, just powers through the USB cord when plugged in. -- For every person that does not vote for Donald Trump, God will kill a kitten.
