Mapping a Drive inside a Docker Container

Map C:/data to the G:/ inside the docker container

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019
SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"]

VOLUME C:\data

RUN Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices' -Name 'G:' -Value "\??\C:\data" -Type String;  

Note, that putting VOLUME inside the Dockerfile instead of just in the docker run command makes more images everytime you run the image, so it might just be better to do the linkage outside.
