I want to test the "Windows to go" feature of Windows 8.

But I have no 16 GB drive.

How can I make logical drive/folder appear as virtual removable drive?

Would the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool help?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by the "Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool?" – Zian Choy Nov 23 '11 at 23:14

There is the subst command.

    Associates a path with a drive letter.

SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D

  drive1:        Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a path.
  [drive2:]path  Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
                 a virtual drive.
  /D             Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.

Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.

However I don't think this makes it look like a removeable drive in diskmgmt.msc.
