File Sharing The Aloha application software requires a network share labeled BOOTDRV that enables read and write capabilities to the Aloha application software file server and FOH terminals. This share needs to be applied to the root folder or drive in which the Aloha folder resides. If the Aloha application software resides in C:\ALOHA, share C:\ as BOOTDRV. If it resides in D:\ALOHA, share D:\ as BOOTDRV. If you created a special folder for the Aloha application software, share the special folder as BOOTDRV. For example, if it resides in C:\POS\ALOHA, share the POS folder as BOOTDRV. The installation application should create the share for you, but if you plan to share only a folder as BOOTDRV, then you need to create the folder prior to installing the Aloha POS system.
