Ok
I've used Junction Link Magic.
I've linked c:\Videos with e:\Videos and the same between d:\Videos and e:\Videos
Now in e:\Videos I can see all files...
There is only a big bug (2 bugs really):
1) Now I can see ALL files in every directory linked (not only in the target directory)
2) Deleting a file in e:\Videos (the target directory), the files is deleted in every linked directory

The problem is that It's impossible to know, after, when the file really is

It's perfect if the link is unilateral, not bilateral....
I try to explain it better (sorry for my english)

Example:
I have 10 files in c:\Videos, 15 files in d:\Videos... de e:\Videos is empty
I link the 3 directory and, in every directory, I have 25 files.
Imho, it could be perfect if after the link, I have: c:\Videos with 10 files (as original situation), d:\Videos with 15 files and e:\Videos with the 25 "virtual" files

Any ideas?

nah.....I give up with the junction I dont think it will give us what we want which is just one flat directory showing all files.

I am going to try spanning the drives...that seems like it should do what we want.

However, does anyone know if this will effect a program like driveclone by farstone as far as being able to restore a full disc backup that was created before making the drives dynamic?

    that site is marked red in siteadvisor, i would remove it

    Have checked this out and no problem, think siteadvisor needs updating.

    ps, there a 6 links to websites in this post, please be more specific, but i assumed you mean Link Magic, but checked all anyway.

    I been looking into this as well. it seems like making junction points is a bit of the the top for what is needed. XBMC is capable of have multiple shares listed under one "share name" within the program.
    To do this in Media portal i am running a ftp server, it lists all my video folders under one share called "videos" this in turn is listed in media portal.
    then i only have to open one folder to see all the videos i have on my network.

    (I know this is a old thread but i feel it needed a simpler answer)
