Is there a way to ("Map a network drive")to a folder on
your OWN C:\ drive without partitioning the drive?

Thanks,
Eric Miller

Your nomenclature is mixed up.

Portioning the drive divides up the hard disk into pieces, each will
then hold a drive letter, e.g. c:, d:, e:, etc.

Mapping a network drive attaches a network resource to a drive letter on
your computer (not a drive on your computer).

What you might be thinking is how Unix/Linux works to "mount" network
resources to folders on the local machine. Unix/Linux file systems
don't have the concept of drive letters (as does Windows) and enables
you to mount network resources anywhere you want on the folder tree.

Windows doesn't have this "mount"-like capability with the native
product (to my knowledge) and I am unaware of any add-on programs than
can provide this--although I guess it would be possible so maybe if you
need this some "googling" may find it.
