Look at the docs again.

http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-serversetup-svnserve.html

Use the --root drive:\path\to\reporoot
so if you have c:\svn-repos\repo1 and c:\svn-repos\repo2 you would use:

svnserve.exe --daemon --root c:\svn-repos

Access as svn://host.domain.com/repos1 etc.
