NTFS Folders instead of Drive Letters on a Virtual Letter?

[raccoon]

I understand I can mount NTFS volumes as a kind of virtual folder beneath any existing empty folder on the system.

However, I am wondering whether I can create a virtual drive letter, and then mount a bunch of NTFS volumes as folders under it?

Is there a means of creating a single faux drive letter for this purpose, as a container to hold an entire collection of drives?

I get that the simpler solution is to just create folders under, eg, C:\mount\disk1 .. \disk2 .. \disk3

Can I do instead, eg, X:\disk1 .. \disk2 .. \disk3 And what options would Everything support?

[void]

What about:

subst x: c:\mount

[raccoon]

Does Everything still index C:\mount\* as belonging to C:\? Or does each NTFS volume folder obtain its own Entry under Index -> NTFS? And how do I make them appear in Everything under X:

[void]

Everything will see C:\mount as empty for your C: index under Tools -> Options -> NTFS.

If you index the subst X: drive under Tools -> Options -> NTFS it will also appear empty.



All mounted NTFS locations are available under Tools -> Options -> NTFS. (eg: C:\mount\disk1)


Please try subst'ing an x: drive to c:\mount and adding a new NTFS volume in Everything and mounting it under X:\disk1

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Right click an empty spot in the NTFS volume list and click Add....
• To the right of GUID, click Select....
• Select the GUID for disk1 and click OK.
• Change the Path to: X:\disk1
• Click OK.
• Click OK.

Ooh, nifty, thanks! It'll be a couple days until I rig these drives up. Might be 20 of them.
