I'm on Win XP Home SP2.
I am able to get as far as mounting my external USB drive in a particular
place in my folder hierarchy (using Admin Tools / Computer Management / Disk
Management). So I can then browser onto my external drive as if it were a
virtual folder on my main hierarchy. Great.
But when I try to do anything within that mounted folder, like copy a file
to create a duplicate, it doesn't allow me to... "cannot copy file.. being
used by another person".
However, when I browse directly to the external drive on E: then I *can*
perform the copy operation with no problems.
So, is there any way of making the "virtual mount" idea work as I hope, so
that I can "sneak" in some extra storage within an existing folder structure?
All help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Mike
