How to change drive letter of the boot volume?


Recommended Posts

Posted

In WinPE 2004(with WinXP SP2), the boot volume was assigned drive letter X:,

can I change this drive letter? can I achieve this in older version of WinPE, i.e.,

assigne a fixed drive letter to the CD-ROM drive.

thanx.

I do not believe that you can change it in 2004 as MS sets this. One reason they set it to X was that in older versions it took the first available letter.

Correct. You cannot change the Drive letter.

To overcome any Drive Letter scripting issues use %SYSTEMDRIVE% in your scripts.

Which I use extensivly in my scripts but is actually nolonger needed with PE 2004 and above since they hard coded it to X, which I am very glad about.

This is true. I personally don't like Hard Coded Values like that in my code. Call it a pet peeve.

I feel the same way, but in this case, I like the hard coded drive letter. Makes things a little easier.
