I have searched all the resources I can find including m$ and I find
many mixed ways to define the path including a new one here.

I have tried just a drive letter "I:", "\\.\physicaldisk2", "\\?
\physicaldisk2", "\\.\physicaldisk2\I:", "\\.\I:".

I have yet to find a c or c++ example but I will continue searching.

I am sure there are limits as to what Cobol can do especially with
this being a 250 gb drive and the compiler I have has a 4 gb limit on
file size. I have done thing like this on older computers (not
windooze) since the sectors were 512 bytes - if I wanted sector 255 I
used a relative key of 256 with no problems but that as I said has
been a while ago on and using a another compiler brand.

What makes it "unmountable" ?
