Hello,

How can I mount in an empty directory from a NTFS partition another
directory,not empty, from other NTFS partition?
Example: I want to mount my D:\Music (D is a NTFS partition) and it
contains all my mp3s files, in c:\Documents and Settings\user\My
Documents\My Music
(C: is a NTFS partition and My Music directory is empty).

Thank you!

I'd do it the other way round; point the "My Music" shell folder to
the real D:\Music instead of some deeply-nested path that's less
likely to survive in the context of data recovery.

I resolve my problem with a program junction.exe which can be downloaded
from here: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml
(It has even the sources :P)
