Mounting an NTFS partition in a folder

To mount an NTFS partition in a folder similar to what's done in Unix systems, do the following:

• Go to the "Run..." screen and type in compmgmt.msc.
• Click on "Disk Management".
• Right click on the volume you want to use and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths..."
• Click "Add".  Another window will be displayed like below:

• Click on the second radio box "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder:".  This is where you key in the folder name where you want the partition to be mounted on.
• Click "OK" once you're done.

Open up Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\.  You should be able to see that the "second-vol" directory has a different icon like the one shown below:

And that's it! :)
