Basically you have a choice:

1 - Add D:\ into the FileSet
2 - Add C:\MyNewHardDrive into the FileSet
3 - Set option onefs=no in the filesystem

Pick one.  Option 3 is not recommended, as it will cause all mountpoints
to be recursed into, which tends to be a bad thing on Windows since
Windows remounts bits of its own filesystem on mountpoints scattered all
over the place.
