No, not so far. The raw disk access is using the old naming scheme
\device\harddiskX\partitionY
which is backward compatible to NT4. I never experimented with dynamic
disks so I don't know the NT native naming scheme so far. Adding these
shouldn't be overly complicated if the naming scheme is known, though.
