OK, other have told you how to share drive E.  The problem may be that the
network computers have card readers or other drives which are already using
drive E.

In this case, map the e drive on the "server" as drive W on the workstations
and point them to a batch file on the "server" which is configured to use
drive letter W.  This should keep the drive letter out of range on computers
with loads of drives and card readers which get drive letters.
