virtual drive

Hello, I would like to know how to make a virtual drive,

I have C:\, A:\, M:\(CDR/W), and N:\(CDROM)

but, I want to know how to make another drive like, T:\ or H:\ or S:\ or any other unused letter..


and if I do make a virtual drive, do I have to have make another partition?


Thanks,
Dennis

set up a share (right click | sharing) on a folder (like c:\data\share_data) then at a prompt type

net use X: \\computername\share_data

to create your virtual drive.

Sweet, thanks :D

the directory is c:\forum
and I want the use z as the drive letter, ci is my computer name.

I did

net use z: \\ci\forum
it said:

Error 2106: This operation cannot be performed to your own computer; it can be performed only on a server. For more information contact your network administrator.

then I did:
net use z: \\ci\c:\forum

and this happened.

Error 50: You attempted an operation that cannot be performed from your computer or that is not suppoerted on the specified server. Make sure you are using the correct server for the sommand or task that you want to perform. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.


:confused:

Just for the slower of us, why would you use a virtual
drive?
