drscouse Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) Hi,I stumbled accross your script.. and thought FANTASTIC, what a cool way to sort all of my drives out, rather than writing a diskpart script manually.... I am quite new to this, and was just understanding the process...I am however experiencing problemsH: Volume 0 [[-No name-]] [DVD-ROM ] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFile I: Volume 1 [HL5100 ] [DVD-ROM ] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFile C: Volume 2 [XPBOOT ] [Partition] [system ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFile D: Volume 3 [XPMAIN ] [Partition] [boot ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is the System Drive N: Volume 4 [sYSCACHE ] [Partition] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFile F: Volume 5 [sTORE ] [Partition] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFile G: Volume 6 [ARCHIVE ] [Partition] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFile V: Volume 7 [VirtualPC ] [Partition] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFile S: Volume 8 [VPCStore ] [Partition] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFileI probably have a slightly different config thatn most, in that my C drive is about 100mb, and is used for the boot files only. My Windows is on D, with my pagefile (although I have written a script to move this to X after drive reassignment).This is to enable me to clone my XP partition (D) onto any other partition, as a usable OS, as I have a multiboot environment, and it save multiple installs. My C drive therefore contains the boot info/boot manager...I dont know why Im getting the above message.. something is getting confused somewhere... Ive attached my log file in the hope it can be easily identified...Hope you can help...Thankstmp_mapdrive.txt Edited September 15, 2005 by drscouse
drscouse Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) FANTASTIC!! I think Ive had a bit of success...I was getting a bit confused when trying to figure out exactly what I needed to change in the script.... SET WINLANG=ENUShould this be my only alteration...???""D:\mapdrive.cmd"" called with the following parameters: [] [] [] []Am I missing something here???Can the dvd.x and drive.x files still be seen by the script when hidden, as I dont really wat them viewable in explorer/windows....???ThanksI have got a dvd.y and dvd.z on my ststemdrive, yet it will only reassign one of my 2 drvies (one is a cdrw/dvd combi, and the other a dvdrw). It removes the drive letter for the dvdrw, and is not visable.TMP_MAPDRIVE.TXT Edited September 15, 2005 by drscouse
mdes Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 I was getting a bit confused when trying to figure out exactly what I needed to change in the script.... SET WINLANG=ENUShould this be my only alteration...???""D:\mapdrive.cmd"" called with the following parameters: [] [] [] []Am I missing something here???You should call MAPDRIVE.CMD with at least one parameters as said in the script begining::: Parameters::: ----------:: 1. Language ID (ENU, FRA, DEU,...). No default value, mandatory.:: 2. TEST to do everything except the drives de/re-assignment. The log file:: TMP_MAPDRIVE.LOG is created: you can display it to see the expected assignments.:: The environment variables TMP_VOLDESC- show the assignments to be done.:: 3. TempPath : Path where temporary files will be created. Default is current directory.:: Path could be enclosed in quotes and could terminated by a backslsh.:: This is the 2d parameter if the 1st one (TEST) is omitted.Next to come
drscouse Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) Thanks - managed to figure it out, however it is only detecting one of my drives.. I have a CDRW/DVD combi, which it is reassigning letters to, but it remove the letter from my DVDRW, making it unusable!Any ideas....??I also wondered if the files on each drive could be hidden, and still work??ThanksJust got your PM.. thanks.. no rush!! Edited September 15, 2005 by drscouse
mdes Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 I also wondered if the files on each drive could be hidden, and still work??Yes since:2005/07/22 : DVD.?, CDR.? and DRIVE-.? could be hidden (Thanks to Warrentheo)....normally
mdes Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) I have a CDRW/DVD combi, which it is reassigning letters to, but it remove the letter from my DVDRW, making it unusable!Before any further tests, reassign the unusable DVDRW by:DISKPARTSELECT VOLUME 1ASSIGN LETTER xEXITwhere "x" should be any letter.Then uppercase the drive letters by renaming all your "Drive.x" to "Drive.X" (same with the 2 DVD.x). I will correct this later.And before attempting reassigning really, call MAPDRIVE.CMD with a 2d parameter = to TEST, like in:MAPDRIVE.CMD ENU TEST.Latest, test it on your actual Windows (i.e. not during a new installation): this will bequicker to test.

drscouse Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 No luck again Im afraid....It still only changes the one drive...I have included the log again.H: Volume 0 [[-No name-]] [DVD-ROM ] [ ] is NOT assignable... ...because it is probably the Boot Drive or it contains the PageFileI have managed to simulate the problem on both drives, wherby it only changes one of them...Strange... Love the way the script works though, cant wait to get it on my UaCD!!!Thanks for your help with this one!!mapdrive.txt
mdes Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 Just try with a CD/DVD in all of your drives
drscouse Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) I have tried both with and without disks in both of the drives, and still having the same problem... I am however able to successfully change the drves manually using diskpart though...Cheers Edited September 16, 2005 by drscouse
drscouse Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Ive noticed this:REM --- Y to I [DISK1 ][DVD-ROM ] [ ] Different Letter was Y: --- SELECT Volume 0 REMOVE NOERR REM --- Z to I [DISK2 ] [DVD-ROM ] [ ] Different Letter was Z: --- SELECT Volume 1 REMOVE NOERR REM --- Y to I [DISK1 ] [DVD-ROM ] [ ] Different Letter was Y: --- SELECT Volume 0 ASSIGN LETTER I NOERR REM --- Z to I [DISK2 ] [DVD-ROM ] [ ] Different Letter was Z: --- SELECT Volume 1 ASSIGN LETTER I NOERRIt would appear that it is trying to rename both drives to the same letter.. I have both a DVD.I & DVD.G on my system drive....I think the first prob was somehow to do with a file association.. despite createing a text file, and renaming it in DOS to remove the .txt extension, the filename in explorer was just showing up as DVD, although it said X File in Tyoe, and the file icon was a text file icon, not a generic unknown windows one...However, it still looks like it is trying to reassign both to the same....Thanks for your helpEDIT: Just tried again, new files.. same as above, wants to change both to same letter....Could the script not be confiugred to accept DVD1.X and DVD2.X?? Edited September 16, 2005 by drscouse
drscouse Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Hmm... suppose I could implement this, and try to solve the DVD issue with a manual script... Ive put my current Ua build on hold, as I would really like to use this script to automate drive letter reassignment. Especially since it took me ages to find out how to move my pagefile unattended.. I now need to reassign the drives, before I can move the pagefile, and others... Edited September 17, 2005 by drscouse
