mounting a folder as a hard drive?

[mark15]

I'm dynamically creating and destroying virtual machines from a single image just fine, but I need these machines to each have a windows network share folder each their own, the website side makes the folders but I can't seem to figure out how to create the vm with the unique folder mounted?

the network share is permanently mounted to proxmox and I can access it from there but is there a way to set up like a mapped network drive in windows?

used Winmount to modify a .vmdk image (mount/unmount with command line) and copy files to it

winmount doesn't seem to be available anymore? so i switched to VMware virtual disk development kit, its command line only so it switched over very easily in my asp.net page

asp did not have proper rights to transfer files, so I made a C# application to sit and watch for changes in the database, the asp writes to the database what and where things need to be uploaded. Then the application runs vmware-mount and copies the files for the VM to be created
