James- look into 'reparse points' in the microsoft knowledgebase. those will do something similar on windows 2000 and XP. basically you can redirect filesystem calls to a directory path, say C:\foo to another path such as \\samba\share or h:\bar.
another option of course is iSCSI which is coming into the daylight now. Donald On Wed, 2002-09-25 at 11:51, James S.
