every partition can be set to be accessible from a different reference.
As others pointed out, partitions are commonly accessed by drive letters. The driver letters are equivalent to mount points.

drive2 partition 2 c:\programdata
dirve 3 partition1 c:\program files
drive 3 partition 2 c:\program files (x86
drive 4 e:\
