diskpart assign=D error
I am attempting to use diskpart with script (below) to partition a drive into two partitions C: and D: but I get an error when the winpe disk assigned drive letter D:. I get an error message when I attempt to assign D: Anyone know how to get around this issue.

Hi!
Have you checked so that you do not have a CDROM or DVD drive on letter D:?
Usually WinPE adds CD/DVD and Memory sticks to the first available driveletter.

Yes, that is what is happening, but I am unclear as to how to prevent this. What I need to know is if I can assign/reassign the CDRom or USB Drive to a drive letter other than C: or D: from with WinPE boots from?

Hi Chris!
It's quite simple to change manualy, just run diskpart and issue an list volume, look for CD-ROM, select volume (cdrom). Issue the command "assign letter=(whatever you prefer)" and the CD-ROM letter will change.
If you need to script the procedure you could use an diskpart batch file, however this will only work if the CD-ROM always gets the same volume number. Another way could be to use for instance FIND.exe to search the output of a "list volume" and then capture the output of the correct volume.

If you are working on a regular hardware or VMware, this one will work.
The changes are in the first two lines.
[hr]
select volume 0
assign letter=B
select disk 0
clean
create partition primary size=45000
assign letter=c
format quick
create partition primary
select partition 2
assign letter=d
format quick
list vol
exit
[hr]
If you apply it to a Blade server then you need to play around a bit with it.
