1. Can fix flash disk driver letter：

Seletion to fix flash disk driver letter：
set USBDRV=U

"U" is your flash drive letter to be fixed, you may change it as your need.
For FIXED USB DISK (usb hard disk or fixed type usb disk) this selection nas no meaning.
Also it is not fit to the condition that more than 1 flash disk exists.
Do be sure that flash USB drive letter is not confilict with any other existing drive letter.

1. support WIN7 (WIN7 PE).
2. support VHD disk recognition.
3. code optimized.
4. add Automated run selection.

selection for automated run
　set AUTO=n　（default is n, which means no intercourse needed. if AUTO was set to y, means automatic mode is opened.）
===
Special thanks to Jaclaz.
===
Function: order messed drive letters caused by, for example, installing xp from usb (removabe or hard disk), startting pe from usb etc.

Win command used: reg (to query information from registry), find (combine with other command), wimc (to get all drive letters. For PE, all drive letters are find from registry ), mountvol (to change drive letters), diskpart.exe (to get disk drive letters, only for diskpart version)

Workround: This batch work under winpe and winnt systems(XP,2k3,vista and WIN7).

Note:
1. Don not run subst or net use prior to running it.

If you have any difficulties in understanding this batch, just let me know. I will give details.

Ok, mounted drive letter "i" is incorrect.

Please show me the result of MOUNTVOL.EXE.

For drive letter R:, it must have has a volume id and been recognized as removable device.

OK, I will get mount point from registry, not from MOUNTVOL.EXE and make optimization.

[victor888]

JACLAZ try again.

[victor888]

revised again.

[jaclaz]

VERY GOOD WORK!

Still something that must be taken into account (I know I am picky, but that should be the right attitude for "testers") :

regorderdrv
All drive letters:  C D E F G H I N R X
Mounted drive letters:  C E D R N G H I
Virtual drive letters:  FX
Internal hard disk 1 drive letter:  C
Internal hard disk 2 drive letter:  E
Internal hard disk 3 drive letter:  {80cf88c6-8a34-11dd-813c-806d6172696f}I {80c
f88c6-8a34-11dd-813c-806d6172696f}I {80cf88c6-8a34-11dd-813c-806d6172696f}I {80c
f88c6-8a34-11dd-813c-806d6172696f}I
Cd/dvd rom drive letters:  D
Remmovalbe drive letters:  R N G H I

subst
X:\: => C:\WINPE BUILDER\X

I added a SUBST drive, just to see how it would behave.
C: and E: are Internal Fixed Disks
D: is CD-ROM
F: is a IMDISK Virtual Disk
X: is the SUBSTed drive
R: is the Perisoft Virtual Disk
N: G: H: I: are partitions on external USB

A small typo:

Quote

Remmovalbe Removable drive letters: R N G H I

The listed virtual drive letters miss a separator.

I would use the "normal" convention of colons and the comma as separator, like:

Quote

All drive letters: C:, D:, E:, F:, G:, H:, I:, N:, R:, X:

I will try a combo of more Virtual Disks and post results....

jaclaz

P.S.:
@ALL
If you want to test this batch, add a GOTO :EOF here:

Quote

GOTO :EOF

::remove system drive letters and volume ids

so that drive letters are NOT re-ordered

Perhaps I am lost in registry searching.

This CMD will take usb hard disk as internal hard disk if booted with pe on usb hard disk and drive letter c belongs to it.
Sometimes when boot pe, no "diskperipheral " value found in registy which reselts to no internal hard disk found.

No joy yet (version dated 30/11/2008).

regorderdrv
All drive letters:  C D E F G H I J K L M N O
Mounted drive letters:  C D I J K L M N E G H O F
Internal hard disk 1 drive letter:  C
Usb hard disk 1 drive letters: D
Usb hard disk 2 drive letters: E G H O
Cd/dvd rom drive letters:  I
Remmovalbe drive letters:  J K L M N F

D: is second internal hard disk.
E: G: H: O: are first (and only) USB HD.

There is no distinction among the various Remmovalbe Removable drives:
F: is a USB stick
J: is Perisoft Virtual SCSI disk
K: L: M: N: are USB Card Reader Combo.

You "changed the rules" of the game, however.

The point was - at least in my mind - to use no external utility, otherwise most of the fun would be lost.


It will take me some time to check the batch code, will let you know If I find where the problem might be....

Cheers,

jaclaz

[victor888]

Thank you very much, you poitns its bug, second hard disk wrong.

I disklike break the rule too.
I have to use dispart to replace mbrfix.

a revised version will coming soon.

I like to play along the rules of the "game"

Try the attached.

A bit slowish, needs polishing and betterings, but maybe we're getting somewhere . (only REG.EXE and MOUNTVOL.EXE is used, NO temporary files)

Well done.

O: 3,0 USB	  Removabl
P: 4,0 USB	  Removabl
Q: 5,0 USB	  Removabl
R:	  Fixed

The result is correct.
One problem is it doesn't tell where are USB hard disk drive letters type (M: R:). Only give FIXED drive letter.

Addition: for winpe, sometimes no item under DISKPERIPHERAL, so no signature found.

Anoter thing, this batch doesn't arrange drive letters according to volume order.

I should further examine your code.

thanks.

It works for my USB external hard disk:

C: 0,0 IDE	  Fixed
D: 1,0 IDE	  Fixed
E: 7,0 USB	  Fixed
G: 7,1 USB	  Fixed
H: 7,2 USB	  Fixed
I:	 IDE	  CD-ROM
J: 2,0 SCSI	 Removable
K: 3,0 USB	  Removable
L: 4,0 USB	  Removable
M: 5,0 USB	  Removable
N: 6,0 USB	  Removable
O: 7,3 USB	  Fixed

(letters E: G: H: O: )

Try using the /v switch and post output.....

About ordering, at the end of the batch "main", after:

FOR /F "Tokens=2 delims==" %%? IN ('SET LDrive') DO ECHO %%?

and before:

GOTO :EOF

These two lines:

Quote

ECHO.
FOR /F "Tokens=2 delims==" %%? IN ('SET LDrive ^|SORT /+14') DO ECHO %%?

Output becomes this :

C: 0,0 IDE	  Fixed
D: 1,0 IDE	  Fixed
E: 7,0 USB	  Fixed
G: 7,1 USB	  Fixed
H: 7,2 USB	  Fixed
I:	 IDE	  CD-ROM
J: 2,0 SCSI	 Removable
K: 3,0 USB	  Removable
L: 4,0 USB	  Removable
M: 5,0 USB	  Removable
N: 6,0 USB	  Removable
O: 7,3 USB	  Fixed

I:	 IDE	  CD-ROM
C: 0,0 IDE	  Fixed
D: 1,0 IDE	  Fixed
J: 2,0 SCSI	 Removable
K: 3,0 USB	  Removable
L: 4,0 USB	  Removable
M: 5,0 USB	  Removable
N: 6,0 USB	  Removable
E: 7,0 USB	  Fixed
G: 7,1 USB	  Fixed
H: 7,2 USB	  Fixed
O: 7,3 USB	  Fixed

We could give a "fake" physical drive number to CD-ROM(s) to alter the order.

PE is a different thing....

Also I need to know how would a SATA CD/DVD behave....

And however I am not so sure that entries in Services\Disk\Enum are the same as the output of WMIC.....this needs to be checked thoroughfully.
EDIT:
Checked, and unfortunately they do not correspond a similar batch using WMI gives different results:

C: 0_0 IDE	  Fixed [HD]	  MAXTOR STM3320820AS
D: 1_0 IDE	  Fixed [HD]	  MAXTOR STM3320820AS
E: 3_0 USB	  Fixed [HD]	  SAMSUNG HD320KJ USB Device
G: 3_1 USB	  Fixed [HD]	  SAMSUNG HD320KJ USB Device
H: 3_2 USB	  Fixed [HD]	  SAMSUNG HD320KJ USB Device
J: 2_0 SCSI	 Removable [HD]  Perisoft Virtual Disk SCSI Disk Device
K: 4_0 USB	  Removable	   Generic USB SD Reader USB Device
L: 5_0 USB	  Removable	   Generic USB CF Reader USB Device
M: 6_0 USB	  Removable	   Generic USB SM Reader USB Device
N: 7_0 USB	  Removable	   Generic USB MS Reader USB Device
O: 3_3 USB	  Fixed [HD]	  SAMSUNG HD320KJ USB Device

Additionally mountvol does not detect IMDISK Virtual Disks :
http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=3909

I guess we need to find out how to manage correctly the entries in \DosDevices and forget about mountvol.

The FREEDRV I wrote some time ago could be part of the solution...I will have to study it (I am getting old an cannot even say if it used mountvol or not....):
http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...=21965&st=6
EDIT:
Checked, no way to detect IMDISK volumes through Mountvol or Registry....

jaclaz

P.S.: On the machine I tried it I don't have a floppy, thus it is not "detected" at all (there is NO code for it), but I think anyway that it would be advisable to simply "exclude" A: and B: from the mountvol command, you aren't going to change those drive letters, are you?

Dizzy.

I study registry enough, that I wrote a paper about registry searching in Chinese.
I have no time to translate.
http://bbs.wuyou.com/viewthread.php?tid=13...;extra=page%3D2

In fact to detemine the signature belongs to which disk if more than one hard disk installed there is a better way:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\STORAGE\Volume\1&30a96598&0&SignatureA8E1B9D2Offset7E00LengthXXXXXXXX
The key "driver"，{71A27CDD-812A-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\0022，the last two number "22" tells the disk number. That is the driver value of disk 0 is smaller than that of disk 1, the latter is smaller than that of disk 2, etc.

Under pe, no driver key exist.

Boy, do I love Google translate!:
