Default How do I persistently share a removable hard drive?

I have an external hard drive that I store all my media on, which is
connected to my laptop. The problem is I tend to turn it off at night, so
when I start everything up the following day (or if I unplug the drive for
any reason) all my share settings have evaporated.

I am running Vista Business, although I had the same problem with my XP Pro
installation.

Thanks!

I don't think that you /can/ share "disconnectable" media persistently.
When you disconnect the drive, Windows forgets the share (which is logical).
