When you take a disk offline, it will no longer show up or be accessible by users until an administrator brings it back online.

If you need to expand your volume space without reformatting or replacing a hard drive, you can add a mount path to another volume. The benefit of using one volume with several mount paths is that you can access all local volumes by using a single drive letter (such as C: ). You do not need to remember which volume corresponds to which drive letter—although you can still mount local volumes and assign them drive letters.
