[OTHER] vista/win7: partition that was mounted as a folder

It is possible to mount a partition/drive into an empty folder.

e.g.
drive c = hdd1
drive d = hdd2
d:\temp = hdd3 (was mounted into the empty folder temp)

What happens if I reinstalled windows? I suppose I would get 3 drive letters instead of 2?

Thank you

you would need to remount the ntfs folders.

also, just remove em first to make sure before reinstalling, or unplug em.

so yorue going to reinstall windows isntead of just changing it from a folder to a letter?
