Follow the instructions below to create a virtual drive for Windows NT, 2000 and XP:

A file has to be placed in the “START” menu which will execute itself when the computer is switched on. To do so, carry out the following steps:

• Create a new folder in “C:”, give it a name, “DRIVEW”, for example.
• Open the Windows Notepad.
• Type: SUBSTW:C:\DRIVEW

represents a single space

W is the name of the virtual drive that is going to be created. It does not have to receive the name given in this example, simply choose a letter that does not coincide with any assigned to a hard drive.

DRIVEW is the name given to the folder that was created in the “C:” drive. If you provided a different name, type that name instead.

• Save the file in the directory indicated below, assigning it any name you wish but with extension “BAT”. For example: “VIRTDRIVEW.BAT”
  
  
  • For Windows NT save it at C:\WINDOWS\Start menu\Programs\Start.
  • For Windows 2000 and XP, save it at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start menu\Programs\Start.
• Restart the computer so the system can recognise the virtual drive. You now have a new virtual drive.
