Vista - More drives than A-Z on Vista32?

I have a quad-core development/test box (running virtual machines). I've
got a built-in multicard reader, multiple DVD drives (paired with virtual
machines), and 4 harddrives (each with multiple partitions). On top of
that, I use some external Harddrives for backup, and a few USB memory
sticks.

Bottom line, I'm running out of drive letters. I was under the impression
that Vista allowed extended disk naming (AA through ZZ) but haven't found
it, and renaming a drive in disk management only gives the A-Z options.

Can anyone point me to directions on how to achieve extended drive naming,
or point me to information that indicates it can't be done on Vista32 (and
why)?

Thanks!
Keith

It isn't possible - not in any Windows operating system. The reason goes
back to the earliest days of MS-DOS, PC-DOS and CP/M.

can't be done in Vista, I am as sure as I can be that it cannot be done.
However, you *can* mount partitions to an empty NTFS folder to save on
drive letters. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307889
