Interesting! Thank you for sharing! However, I got a little problem when I tried step 1-9 and 13 trying to set up a local link. It create a link "nas" in my C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ISB\data, but where does it actually put the data to? let's say I want to put all my data in D:/TPPDATA, is there anyway to make it happen?
Thanks!
