I am replacing a 1 TB drive with four smaller drives and
using DFS to make them look like the original drive.

Here the current drive configuration:

Physical
on Serv1 Shared as
------------------------
E:\ - E$
E:\Vol - Vol
E:\Vol\Users - Users
E:\Vol\Shared - Shared

User access this server using anyone of the following
shares:

\\serv1\e$
\\serv1\e$\Vol
\\serv1\e$\Vol\users
\\serv1\e$\Vol\Shared
\\serv1\Vol
\\serv1\Vol\users
\\serv1\Vol\Shared
\\serv1\Users
\\serv1\Shared

I am trying replicate the above by creating four new drives
E: F: G: H: and link them with DFS (Win2003)

Is this possible.? Once I create E$ as DFS root, I cannot
create another root under E$ for data to nest users and
Shared directories.

Can anyone please help.
