Does anyone know if it is possible to mount a hard disk drive partition to an empty folder on Windows NT 3.51 & 4? I can't find any way to do it from disk management GUIs. Perhaps it could be done from the command line or a third-party program?

Not in NT 3/4.
You need at least NT 5.0 a.k.a. Windows 2000 - see the "mountvol" command.

It is more like an unix thing....

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

I was thinking symlinks as an alternative, but google says that they are a prerogative of NTFS 3.0 (NT 5.0), and NT 4.0 uses NTFS 1.2. BUT NT 4.0 can also speak NTFS 3.0 after SP4, so it could be interesting to see what happens if you feed a NT4 SP4+ machine a NTFS 3.0 volume with links.

Obvs don't try with data you even vaguely care about.
