          I don't think you can do it from an existing image, but if you make a Dockerfile like so:



          FROM <Base image like microsoft/dotnet-framework>
          VOLUME ["D:"]
          # Rest of Docker file here


          The Windows container will create a D: Drive.

            This works in native Windows Server containers, but I had issues with it on docker-for-windows (Windows 10)



            VOLUME ["D:"]



            So for those in the same predicament, I found this worked for both.



            Add D: Drive to Windows Server 2016 Docker Images
