Using windows command line tools i want to get the drive letter of a volume, by specifying its volume number.

For example i have a HDD with 2 volumes: Volume-0 and Volume-1

I want to set a Variable say 'Letter'=<Drive Letter> such as

SET Letter=<Command> <Volume Number>

Is there any command which can do this for me...

Thanks...

Hi,

You can use the diskpart tool to assign a drive letter to the drive by specifying the volume's number.

1.Open Command Prompt.

2.Type:diskpart

3.At the DISKPART prompt, type:list volume
Make note of the number of the simple volume whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.

4.At the DISKPART prompt, type:select volume n
Select the volume, where n is the volume's number, whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.

5.At the DISKPART prompt, type one of the following:assign letter=L
Where L is the drive letter you want to assign or change.

For more detailed information, you could refer to the article below:

Thanks for the reply.

But sir i do not want to assign drive letter. Drive letter is already assigned like Volume-0=C, Volume-1=D

i just want to set an environment variable which is equal to Volume-1's drive letter. that is C

Because if the harddisk drive is portable then it is not possible the Volume-1 is assigned with same letter among different computers. So, i want to confirm what drive letters is assigned, before executing a batch file.
