Hi ,
I've just played about some more and noticed that there was an error in the last
entry I wrote
after diskpart you type "list volume" - without the quotes and not "list volumes"
ALSO you do not need to "remove letter=H" you can just "assign letter=Z" as in the
example previous.
Therefore my previous example would be :-
select volume 1
assign letter=Z
select volume 2
assign letter=Y
exit
Yours...
