Actually, it's possible and quite funny. You can unmount all disks, even 
those in use, even the system disk, ending up with a system without drive 
letters, then remount them as you like. I used this, together with some 
symlink magic, to trick the PSDK installer. I have the program files dir 
mounted on a different partition that had 3 GBs free, but the letter was 
D:, the system partition, with only 70 MBs free. I unmounted all disks, 
mounted the program files partition as D:, mounted the system partition as 
D:\system, created symlinks to simulate a system partition (D:\WINNT => 
D:\system\WINNT, for example), installed the PSDK. Sadly, the logon manager 
will always delete all mount points on logoff, so you need to reboot after
