Re: [OT] Two drives one drive letter in Windows 2000 ?

["Pete Shew" <ukha_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In W2000 disk management you can right click a drive and select change
drive letter and paths. Then click edit and select to mount the drive in an
existing (NTFS) folder on another drive instead of giving a drive letter.

NTFS has mount points similar to Unix/Linux but they are not well
advertised and difficult to set up. As well as mounting a drive onto a
folder, you can mount a folder onto another folder on the same or a
different drive, but you can't do the same with files (shortcuts are the
best you can do there).

Microsoft call them junction points.
