Possible values for VolumeName along with current mount points are:
\\?\Volume{efc6cef2-cd37-11d3-8139-806d6172696f}C:\\?\Volume{886dfe07-d034-11d3-8142-0000b4a04774}E:\\?\Volume{886dfe08-d034-11d3-8142-0000b4a04774}F:\\?\Volume{886dfe09-d034-11d3-8142-0000b4a04774}G:\\?\Volume{b5349550-d58e-11d3-8144-0000b4a04774}H:\\?\Volume{0b77be43-ccff-11d3-b77a-806d6172696f}D:\\?\Volume{0b77be42-ccff-11d3-b77a-806d6172696f}A:\

Notice that the Help file for mountvol is also
printed (here omitted). Let's now create the empty
directory

C:\accounting and mount the

H : drive to this directory. Working in the
current directory, which is C:, do the
following:

md accounting
mountvol accounting \\?\Volume{b5349550-d58e-11d3-8144-0000b4a04774}

To see if it worked:

dir accounting 
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is D839-4CFA
Directory of C:\accounting
06/22/2000  01:40p                  46 doc1.txt
06/22/2000  01:44p                  30 doc2.txt
06/22/2000  02:12p       DIR            pub
2 File(s)             76 bytes
1 Dir(s)     497,959,936 bytes free

This is the contents of the H: drive
that's mounted to the empty folder

C:\accounting .

Notes

• You can create mount points using Disk Management as well (see
  

  Disks in Chapter 4).

• Mount points can be used if you are running out of drive letters for
  local volumes and to expand the space on a volume without
  reformatting it or replacing the hard drive (just add a mount path to
  another volume). You can also use one volume with several mount paths
  to enable access to all your local volumes using a single drive
  letter.

• Don't delete a mount point using Windows Explorer or
  del /s because this removes the
  target directory and all its subdirectories. Use instead
  mountvol /d.
