Is there a registry key to assign a specific letter to one of the partitions that already exist during setup ?

I want the assignment to run automatically during setup.

Currently these are the partitions and the letters;

C:\ SYSTEM

D:\ SWAP

E:\ GAMES

F:\ ISO

X:\

H:\ ADMIN

I need to change them to:

C:\ SYSTEM

D:\ GAMES

M:\ ISO

P:\ ADMIN

S:\ SWAP

X:\

Does anyone know how to do this ?

Hi lalilus,

I am not sure, but I think I saw something like that a few months before.

Try to make an Installation from HD, you will find to 2 folders that would be used when u would reboot and go into the setup. The folders are called $Win_NT$.~LS and $Win_NT$.~BT. Search for INF files like migrate or something else.

In these files I saw the drive mapping, but duno sure.

P.S.: post it, if you found

the assignment can be modified in the registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices]

\DosDevices\A: =

\DosDevices\C: =

\DosDevices\D: =

...

You change the letter as you want then you export this Key

No need of:

\??\Volume{##########################}

only

\DosDevices\x: =

Not enough, you also should delete the unused definitions

There is another thread talking about this subject (there is a "Search" at the top right of every page )

i used to have a vbs for changing drive letters, someone had made it, i don't know where it is. its surely on the forum though..

Unfortunatly the search option provides me with too many topics that have nothing to do with what i'm searching for.

Do you happen to have a link to the topic ?

The diskpart really worked.
