Hi, I have noticed some strange behaviour when mounting a separate volume into a new directory on an existing drive letter.
Environment: brand new build of w2k3 server (vm based) C: drive, test allocation of 16GB Install windows, and log on fine. Shutdown VM and add a second 1GB drive to the VM Start up VM, create c:\mount_point directory Go into Disk Manager, and add the new drive and point it to c:\mount_point Check in Explorer, all looking ok. Create a test file in c:\mount_point. Edit file, delete file - all ok. Create a directory, rename directory - ok. Delete directory - no permission denied. Back in Disk Manager, and assign a drive letter to this new drive. Create, Edit and Delete all work for files and directories when applied to the actual drive letter. Return to c:\mount_point and try a shift-delete and the test directory and that deletes. So it appears that you can't delete a directory on a mounted disk into the recycle bin, but can you delete normal files into the recycle bin. Shift-deleting works fine on both the mount_point and the drive letter mapping. Files which I can delete do appear in the recycler. Any ideas, or have I just done something silly?
