Can;t see why not - make sure disk shadow is turned off.

Just make sure the databases are on a system drive. doesn't have to be on
the same system drive as the server installation but it has to be a system
drive on that machine.
Ignore all mappings they are irrelevant to the setup and should not be
referenced anywhere.
