What is is on the back end makes no difference. If you want to access your DVD drive as a user, you have to access it via drive letter... Open windows explorer, add a USB drive, DVD drive, secondary hard drive... they come up by default with their own drive letter, and unless you mount the disk to a path locally, that's how users will see the drive. And if you mount it to an existing path, guess where it ends up? C:\mymounteddrive. Drive letters are critical to Windows still.
