I try to install the data-folder on my NAS that I have mapped as Z: ( Been able to run a acess database on this drive) I've also tried to install the datafolder on my laptop (mapped the drive) but got the same error.

Get the "initdb: 1"-error, see below for log file.
Any ideas?

Running XP, postgres 8.3.3 installer. I changed so everyone can read/write to the drive but didnt help.



The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "SYSTEM".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale English_United States.1252.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

creating directory Z:/postgres/data ... initdb: could not create directory "Z:/postgres": No such file or directory
