What happens if I finish the drive letters?
It's just curiosity, but I have a lot of letters and it happens that I float around 20 when I have everything connected

This image is not mspaint. I subst'ed all drives, even B:
Then, I plugged a card reader that has 4 drives. Nothing showed up!
So, the answer to your question is NOTHING! You are just unable to add more.
Of cource you can use volume mounting as suggested above

It depends on your operating system. Some older versions of windows supported up to 32 drives (mapped to things like [: and `:), but more recent versions do not.
On a modern Windows machine, if you require more than 26 drives, the correct solution is to use Volume Mount Points

Is it possible?
I've tried adding the external drive (i.e., drive to be backed up) in Windows backup options, but I just get an error (0x80070032).
If it matters, I'm using an HDD for backup, and an SSD that needs to be backed up.
I came across "AOMEI Backupper". It does the job, and actually did save me from losing 6 months of work (from home). However, I ended up just buying a bigger SSD and backing up to an external SSD (so I have a portable copy if needed).
AOMEI works, but is a little "rough around the edges", if you know what I mean..

I used my usb drive on my brother's laptop, after which all of my files and folders look like in this picture:
If the laptop has renamed them, then you most likely have a virus/malware! Run your UPDATED anti-virus on your computer, run it with the USB drive included for the virus scan or format the USB. MalwareBytes Anti-Malware software will help too. Also, your brother's laptop needs a to be cleaned of infection too. Good luck!

Is it 100% safe to move the pagefile.sys file from c: to another drive on Windows Server 2008? We are getting low on C: space and need to move it off, but not if there is any risk. This is a production web server and (other than a quick reboot) downtime is not acceptable, as you can imagine :)
I dont think this is a good place for such questions, its a programming related site,
I can give you a hint that this should be OK, It will even speed up you paging file, some reference below (I was actually reading it recently :) ):

following part:
What you should actually do is move your pagefile to a completely
different physical drive to split up the workload.
but confirm it with some windows admin experts

Well, I screwed up big time today. The long and the short of it is that I spilled water on my MacBook Pro and the motherboard is shot. However, the hard drive seems to be okay. So I plugged the SATA cable into my PC, win 7 32bit, however I cannot find the drive. I just wanna copy some stuff over. Does anyone have any ideas?
You need to download a driver for windows to view the mac file system... search for an HFS+ driver
Even better, goto an Apple Support community :-)
One example:

there are plenty of others. I used one at home for winXP to write to hfs+

First off, I am using Windows XP. I have multiple hard drives and it looks like something decided to make some folders on the second one ( which is just a data drive, no os ). These folders all have names like "e69f29f1b1f166d3d30b8c9f7156ba" and "bd92c24cc278614082cd88e7a64b". They contain folders named update, whose "access is denied", so my best guess would be they are Windows updates. So I probably can't get rid of them but could someone at least explain what they are and why they are on the wrong drive?
Windows will always use the hard drive with the most space to download windows updates. This is what happened to you.
