Drive Letter assignment

[lallius]

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 )

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 ?
