    Don't partition at all. Instead use the "subst" command. subst "drive letter" "Path you want to be a drive" eg: subst d: c:\GamesDrv You'll have to make a bat file and put it in the startup so that you don't have to type the command everytime you start windows.

    That is a great Tip Death. We should probably put it with the Windows tips and Tricks
    Also, it would be better if we can get instructions to make it a service, so there is no need to have a batch in the start menu

    I said startup, not start menu. That way it will load when windows starts. You can make a batch file and then go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run with regedit. Create a new string, name it whatever you want and put the location of the batch file as the value data. Or maybe you could also just copy the batch file to the startup folder or use a program to put it in the startup.
