IIS Web Application assigned to a Virtual Drive

I have a Web Application that I created with Studio .Net 2005. It uses IIS
of course and it works fine. When I set up a Virtual drive and have my
project running on IIS with the virtual drive, IIS does not recognize the
Virtual drive path. The path is correct when I look at the properties for
the web application in ISS, but it looks like IIS does not work if the
application is using a virtual drive.
I used the prompt command subst to assign a virtual drive to my work folders
on my C drive. If the Web Application in IIS uses the real path on the C
drive it works, otherwise IIS gets a path not found error if the virtual
drive is used. Can any explain how to get IIS to use a virtual drive?

Virtual drive ? or you was referring to virtual directory ?
if you are connecting to share resource on remote machine.
use UNC format to connect. e.g. \\remoteserver\sharefiles\
