The warning you got above is simply telling you that programs which might have expected files on (in my case) “E:” are now going to fail – they’ll have to be instructed to look at “c:\backupdrive” instead. Physically all the contents below that mount point are on that other hard drive but logically, all files are referenced via paths beginning with c:\backupdrive. It’sthe point at which the contents of another drive are mounted. The directory “c:\backupdrive” is called a “ mount point” or junction. The contents of that hard disk are still available at c:\backupdrive. Press OK on that warning, and the drive letter is no longer associated with that hard disk. You’ll get a warning, which I’ll discuss in a moment. Make sure that the drive letter is selected, and click Remove. Recalling that the problem was that too many drive letters were in use, there’s one last step.īack in disk manager, right click on the drive we’ve been playing with (E: in my case) and once again click on Change Drive Letter and Paths… – it should look similar to this: Now you should see the contents of the E: drive.: Now enter that folder name in the Add Drive Letter or Path… dialog we have open: The name is totally up to you – the only requirement is that the drive be NTFS formatted, and that this folder you just created be empty.

In Windows Explorer, create this folder on your NTFS formatted C: drive: What we haven’t talked about is that “or Path” part these dialogs keep talking about. Now, this time instead of pressing Change… to change a drive letter, we’re going to press Add….
