Guest Bob I Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Re: more than 26 drives possible? Sure, they just can't have letters assigned. Please observe in Map Network Drive Wizard. Talal Itani wrote: > Hello, > > I there a way to have more than 26 logical drives with XP? > >

Guest Mike Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 RE: more than 26 drives possible? Don't think so. Not sure why you would need that many drives/partitions but you might think about adding a new server.

Guest BruceM Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: more than 26 drives possible? Well I can think of a reason. I've got the 29 disc set of "Art Explosion" (clipart). Instead of having to insert disc "x" all the time I've ripped the ISO's to my HD & then set up a heap of drives with Alcohol 120%......... Works terrific & it's not wearing out my drives at all. I just leave the most often used ones mounted all the time. Not sure who said they had to be HD's or partitions?

However, I might > suggest it's time to buy a second computer... I'm at 19 drives myself... only two physical drives and single partition on each. The rest are network shares or folder redirects.

Wouldn't that work better if you simply dumped all the files into a single directory someplace? These are just data files, right?
Guest BruceM Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: more than 26 drives possible? Yes, that would work probably better I guess. I am actually considering doing that but doing it direct onto an external HD. That way I can quite easily just lend it to a friend if I wish to. Not real sure if the USB will be fast enough but I suspect it might only slow searches down slightly. It will be about 19gig of data.
