      @Keklja you need to add the drive to the smb.conf file.

            Yeah I also find that i did that. It is working. I can see my External HD that is connected on Raspberry. Now I have another Problem. As you can see on picture I named my shared folder "mediacentar" and I shared "media" folder on Retropie. Problem is (as you can see) there are 9 usb folders. On usb2 is my WD 2 TB. When I what to copy somethnig from my PC to usb2 folder it says that there is not enough room. It seems, it doesnt copy on HD but on SD card where Retropie is. Why is that?

              So I found out that the problem was with automount. I umount my drive and mount it again but this time in /mnt folder. I shared that folder an transfer 25gb data on external storange. Then i reboot Raspberry pie and now nothing is working. Retropie boot in Shell and i can access it through SSH. After a reboot it displays shell and says: "A start job is running for dev-sdc1.device (time)". dev/sdc1 was my External HD. I needed to delete automount command from /etc/fstab in order to boot it.
