It's probably because your HD file system is FAT or FAT32. Convert it to NFTS

It would be a mistake to do this, because i'm pretty sure the coversion also formats your HDD, and doing that simply for a shared folders feature would be a big mistake! As kyryptonate posted earlier, it is only a temporary thing.

Converting doesn't format your HD. At least not here

I used Partition Magic 7.0 for the trick.

nevertheless, advising someone to change something radical as the filesystem is not an answer you should give when just one feature of a program doesn't work. You indeed don't have to format your hard disk when going from FAT or FAT32 to NTFS, but you're advised by Microsoft to backup your data before you try to do it as there's always a chance something goes wrong in a procedure like that. So if something would go wrong you don't lose anything.
But changing the filesystem because a feature of a BETA doesn't work is a bit farsearched. You don't even know what filesystem she has.

I'm not advising anything to anyone...I'm just saying stuff based on my own experience. Sorry if it seemed like an advice
