Complex Network drive

I am currently working with the Home Mini DV Collection backups.They are normally stored off line, and also on DVD.

In order to catalog them however, I've copied them all onto my PC but for space reasons, spread over 3 local physical disks, D: E: & F:.

As I'm now trying to catalog the clips, I'm having to jump about across the three disks with three progs. Is there any way to create say a network drive with all three folders attached to that disk?

Alternatively does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

I know that for local drives you can mount them into an empty folder on an NTFS partition however I don't know if that will work for a network drive. How To Mount and Access New Partition, Volume or Drive As Folder Path In Windows « My Digital Life

Since there are separate volumes you wouldn't be able to mount them as one. Local drives can be configured to look like 1 volume using a RAID if your hardware has support for such a configuration however do to way that works personally I wouldn't do it. In that configuration if you lost one drive you would lose everything on all 3 drives. There are external enclosures that will do the same thing however you will have to remove them from their current cases. Also you'd have to remove everything from the drives and reformat.
