Re-assigning CDRom Drive Letter Post Install?

[ginolard]

Hi all,

We're creating an Unattended Install from a network distribution point (i.e. no CD). However, post-installation, we would like to automatically re-assign the CDRom drive letter to Z:

Are there any easy (silent) ways to do this?

Sure, you can use the diskpart.exe utility from MS.

Create a text based batch file and paste these lines into the file:

select volume 0

assign letter Z

Save the file as something like diskpart.txt. Then create a batch file to call diskpart.exe with the following parameters:

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

REM ***Change CD-ROM drive letter to Z:***

%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DISKPART.EXE /s %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\diskpart.txt
