I would like to know how to make Hard Drives show up in "My Computer" when they are on a network. Like C:/ would be the computers hard drive, then k:/ would be a hard drive from another computer on my network. So it appears in "My computer" not in Network places

You need to map a drive via explorer [browse to the share and go to tools/map network drive]

wanderer is exactly right. You can indeed map a drive to another computer's shares. Assuming of course that you actually have permissions configured to access those shares.
Is this a home network?
