How can I make my "Drive D:" "Drive E" available in localhost.

I'm running apache on my backtrack machine. My default is /var/www/. Every directory I created inside the /var/www/ is available and all working fine.

Let's say I created /var/www/PENTEST/ the contents of that PENTEST directory can be accessed through:

localhost/PENTEST/

How can I make this work: localhost/media/DATA/

The /media/DATA/ is my DRIVE D:

I edited this:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /media/DATA/
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /media/DATA/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>

Still not working. I'm getting 404.

I figured it out. Thank for the post of "RiggsFolly" which can be found here: http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,89163.

I just have to change this:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /media/DATA/
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /media/DATA/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Into this:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot D:/media/DATA/
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory D:/media/DATA/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>
