I haven't tested this - but I believe using wmi via powershell will yield a better result... e.g.<br />
<br />
$drive = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_volume -Filter &quot;DriveLetter = 'x:'&quot;<br />
<br />
Set-WmiInstance -input $drive -Arguments @{DriveLetter=&quot;G:&quot;; Label=&quot;Label&quot;}<br />
<br />
I am also interested in this version of windows you have which has <i>&quot;change in the Windows Dick Management Console&quot;</i> - I've not seen a dick management console - but it is the funniest typo I've seen in a while - thanks for the laugh!

Can you restart your system once and check if you can change drive letter. Command you mentioned is the easiest way to do it.

PowerShell: Force to change the Drive Letter

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Powershell

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
