Well, that's not a valid svn:// URL, so I'm not too surprised.
When you start the svnserve server, you give it a path to either a
single repository or a folder containing several repositories. (I think
if you don't specify a path explicitly then it assumes the working
folder is one of those two.)
In the former case, the URL to the repository is svn://computername/
In the latter case, the URL to any of the repositories is
svn://computername/repositoryname/
In no cases do you use drive letters in the URL.
