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.
