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.
