    Is it possible to change drive letter (and rename) of D in setupcomplete.cmd? I only have 2 drives, and I always change the second one to drive Z after an OS reinstall.

    thank you,

    thanks, i've seen the diskpart command as well as powershell. though what i would like to accomplish is doing it automated/silent through setupcomplete.cmd script.

    ps command is super simple!
    Get-Partition -DriveLetter A | Set-Partition -NewDriveLetter B
    (without the two dots after drive letter)

    In your .cmd script you can write it like
    powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "&{Get-Partition -DriveLetter D | Set-Partition -NewDriveLetter Z}" >nul 2>&1
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    I use diskpart in setupcomplete all the time that's what the /s is for (script)
