    Select Diskpart Volume by name?


    So, here's the scenario: I'm writing a batch file that I want to use to open Diskpart and assign drive letter P to the volume where the batch file is located. How am I supposed to do that. I know how it works (I wouldn't ask this question... Never mind!), but how can I select the volume when it has a different number on each computer... Therefore: Can I select the volume by name, and if not, how can I let the user enter which volume it is, which I mean? So that the batch file lists all the volumes, asks the user who answers, and the batch file continues working with the answer?

    Thanks in advance

    LG Alex

    Diskpart not locating volume with windows installed on it

    Hello,

    I have a desktop that is currently stuck in a Repair loop, and goes to BSOD. One thing I found is when I try to rebuild BCD it says Total identified Windows installations: 0.

    Currently it appears Windows is installed on the X:\ drive of this computer, but when I check diskpart and list volumes it doesn't show X:\ and none of the volumes displayed have a system partition in them.

    If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it!

    Diskpart not locating volume with windows installed on it

    That makes a lot of sense with it not finding any Windows installations...

    Here's a copy of my diskpart. (Talking so much about it I probably should have thought to post it.... Sorry)

    Thank you all so much for your replies. I really appreciate the help

    Thanks for the concern. I just ended typing it out manually, not too big a deal. Select Diskpart Volume by name? :)
