NASLite Network Attached Storage

Is there a way to partition a single physical disc into multiple "shares" so they can be mapped independently? Connecting to NASLite-2 CDD machine currently, only allows Disk-1 mapping in Win 9x. Would like to split a hard drive into sections so it can be mapped separately on client machines, (i.e. /dev/hda1 = "F", /dev/hda2 = "G" etc.) To summarize: is there a way to subdivide a hard disc using NASLite-2 CDD and then export it as multiple "drives"?

I don't think so though you could give it a try with the likes of say Fdisk in Knoppix.

I create directories on the root of the NASLite Disk as follows:

Lets say we have Disk-0 and create 2 dirs, /Lib1 and /Lib2

From the WinXP client, Map X: to Disk-0/Lib1 and Y: to Disk-0/Lib2.

Is this what you want to do?

Yes, exactly. I did make three test directories, but 98SE would not map each individually. It is necessary I connect to Win 9x clients and so far doing as described will not allow the 9x machine to map drives except to physical Disk=x (i.e one share choice, period). This appears to be an SMB to non-NT issue. Am I missing something here? Reading the manual has been done, twice. Any advice? Thanks.

On WIN9X have you investigated the subst command?
You could have a batch file BLOCKED_WORD to a shortcut in the startup folder.

Tried the subst command, but it does not work with network drives. I attempted this with both 98SE and ME. Neither one worked. So it appears that only NT variants (2K, XP etc.) can map a directory on the disc as a specific drive letter. 98SE etc. will only map a network drive to to Disk-0, etc. on a NASLite-2 CDD server. Take this as a "heads up" when deploying onto a mixed network having legacy OSes. Thanks for all the suggestions.
