Let say I have 2 different physical drives on my system. I want to mount the second drive as a folder in a first drive. Now, let say the first drive failed, will I be able to access the second drive by plugging the drives on another computer ?

Thanks

Yes. Junctions/Mountpoints are just links to the other 'real' file system. So even tho it may appear that your second drive is in a subdirectory off the main drive, it is internally managed just like any other drive (has it's own MFT, bitmap, etc). You can detach it (or assign it it's own real drive letter) at any time.
