Hi Robert,<br />
<br />
That's exactly what I'm looking for... I've tested the theory (by re-mapping my own disk drive) and this works... I'll build a script around that and put on here in due course!

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I'm looking to be able to remap a disk drive (typically D:) to another letter via a batch (or vbs?) script. &nbsp;This should either (in my mind):<br />
<br />
&nbsp; - &nbsp;Unmap the physical drive<br />
&nbsp; - &nbsp;Try to map the physical drive to the last available letter<br />
OR<br />
&nbsp; - &nbsp;Disable the physical drive so that the letter is released<br />
&nbsp; - &nbsp;Re-Enable the physical drive on the last available letter.<br />
<br />
I know that it can all be done via Disk Management, however, this needs to be scripted. &nbsp;It is also important that (where possible) the user should NOT need to restart their PC.<br />
<br />
Any help is appreciated!!

Batch File (or other script) to remap a disk drive

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Microsoft DOS

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
