My www directory (which localhost and my IP address point to when I'm running the server) is currently: D:\wamp\www
I would like to create an alias to my media hard drive for an internal house network for my housemate to get stuff off my HDD. Right now he can access the internal network IP address of 192.xxx.xxx.xxx which is my PC on the network.
The D: is only 5gb (stupid partition for "safe restore" which I don't need so formatted it) but f: is 500gb.
When setting the alias file so that typing in 192.xxx.xxx.xxx/mattsstuff would point to my F drive:
Alias /mattsstuff/ "f:/"
<Directory "f:/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
it doesn't work:
404: Not Found
The requested URL /mattsstuff was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) PHP/5.1.4 Server at localhost Port 80
I also tried f:\ and f: but they didn't work either. Is it possible to do? Or better yet, is there a way to move the www directory from the base wamp one?

The solution is to use UNC names in Alias and Directory statements. Do NOT use mapped drive letter, e.g. Z:/track/www.
This worked for me:
Alias /track/ "//samba_svr/bob/track/www/"
<Directory "//samba_svr/bob/track/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
