hello,
i'm looking for something like

Change the Drive Letter of a Volume
Description
Changes the drive letter of volume D to Q. If you modify this script to change the drive letter of a volume other than D, note that the volume name in the WQL query must include both the colon ( and two forward slashes (\\). Thus drive C would look like this: C:\\. When specifying the new drive letter, however, you only have to include the colon (in the sample script, Q:).
Supported Platforms
Windows Server 2003 : Yes
Windows XP : No
Windows 2000 : No
Windows NT 4.0 :No
Script Code
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colVolumes = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Volume Where Name = 'D:\\'")
For Each objVolume in colVolumes
objVolume.DriveLetter = "Q:"
objVolume.Put_
Next
-------------------
The problem is that the "Win32_Volume" class doesn't exist under xp.
I need something that chances the driveletter for the dvd-rom to z: and the driveletter for the dvd-rw to m: during unattended setup.
thx for help

change the drive letter of a harddisk/cd-drive
in Windows XP

thx for the fast help.
@Ausmith1 : diskpart looks not very easy to use
@PaulD_ixbt : Your solution is exactly what i am searching for. I can also map my usb-card reader to a path with your script.
----
My configuration:
The cd/dvd-drive is allways the first drive, the cd/dvd-writer is the second one (sec. contr.). Two harddisks are linked at the other controller (pri. contr.).
In one System i have a promise pci controller with the boot harddisk and the data harddisk (pri master + sec. master) and the dvd-drive/dvd-writer are on the onboard one (pri. master + sec. master). The usb-card reader is - of course - at the usb port.
harddisk 1 --> C: D:
harddisk 2 --> E: F:
DVD-Rom --> G: (should be Z:)
DVD-Writer --> H: (should be M:)
USB-Card Reader --> I: J: K: L: (should be mapped to subdirectorys on d:\usb-card\ )
D:\usb-card>dir /b
1-cf
2-md
3-sm
4-sd
D:\usb-card>
(very stupid work to do it by hand each time after a new installation)
Now my next question: how can i reconize the "right" drive for each drive letter?
