Trilogy 4.2

Although I don't have all the drives that you do, I am running into the same issue. Bluray/DVD/CD drives also play into this drive letter issue. All I can say is I'm still working on it.

Unfortunately, short of suggesting a fresh reinstall, I don't have any other suggestions. I would recommend waiting for some others to respond or doing a fresh install. Good luck.

 

Just insert a coin for another 2 hours
Fresh install, ouuch
I think i'll wait for other suggestion or method, as i will use fresh install only as a last resort

Thanks again for your respond tomah.

I'm investigating the command that retorn the path to put IR5.bat in Drive and i found something interesting.
(Tested on Win 7 64 Ultimate with the 100MB Hidden System Partition)

This command:

Code:

wmic volume where SystemVolume="true" get DeviceId /format:list

Returns the DeviceId to the Hidden System Partition:

Code:

DeviceID=\\?\Volume{50a9c559-4786-11e0-ac3d-806e6f6e6963}\

Look the difference to this other command:

Code:

wmic volume where DriveLetter="%SystemDrive%" get DeviceId /format:list

It returns the DeviceId to the System Drive ( in my case C: )

Code:

DeviceID=\\?\Volume{50a9c558-4786-11e0-ac3d-806e6f6e6963}\

I found this executing and reading the output of this:

Code:

wmic volume get > wmicvolumeget.txt

I'm not sure but i think that could be a problem to someone that don't have the Hidden System Partition.

Can you do a test for us? Replace this line:

Code:

for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('"wmic volume where SystemVolume="true" get DeviceId /format:list"') do set sd=%%A 

For this:

Code:

for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('"wmic volume where DriveLetter="%SystemDrive%" get DeviceId /format:list"') do set sd=%%A 

And report if you can find IR5.bat in C:

 

On the contrary, I think that such a problem could happen to ppl that HAVE the Hidden System Partition, cause in a configuration like mine is,
"SystemVolume" and "SystemDrive" are always the same...

I never had any problem about it... I always had the BAT in C: (while in Windows...) and with both of those command i have it in C: anyway...
This is the test batch file i used, with both commands and creation of 2 different files :

Code:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('"wmic volume where DriveLetter="%SystemDrive%" get SerialNumber /format:list"') do set sn=%%A
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('"wmic volume where SystemVolume="true" get DeviceId /format:list"') do set sd=%%A
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('"wmic volume where DriveLetter="%SystemDrive%" get DeviceId /format:list"') do set sd1=%%A
SET sfile=%sd%\IR5.txt
SET sfile1=%sd%\IR51.txt
set s
echo @echo off>%sfile% 
echo @echo off>%sfile1% 
dir C:\IR*.*

and here it is the output in the Command Prompt windows :

Code:

C:\Users\Backups>00AssegnaSNSD.cmd
sd=\\?\Volume{6eaeb48b-47f0-11e0-9f20-806e6f6e6963}\
sd1=\\?\Volume{6eaeb48b-47f0-11e0-9f20-806e6f6e6963}\
sfile=\\?\Volume{6eaeb48b-47f0-11e0-9f20-806e6f6e6963}\\IR5.txt
sfile1=\\?\Volume{6eaeb48b-47f0-11e0-9f20-806e6f6e6963}\\IR51.txt
sn=817457937
SystemDrive=C:
SystemRoot=C:\Windows
 Il volume nell'unità C è SYS_OCZ_1

 Directory di C:\

04/04/2011  17:29                12 IR5.txt
04/04/2011  17:29                12 IR51.txt
               2 File             24 byte

Besides that, if there's the need to modify that line, this one is useless :

Code:

for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('"wmic volume where DriveLetter="%SystemDrive%" get DeviceId /format:list"') do set sd=%%A 

Cause, as we are still working in Windows and it's used just to define the %sd% variable, I think we could simply use :

Code:

set sd=%SystemDrive%

As I already wrote, what i was looking for is a solution to the WinRE "revolution" of the assigned drive letters...

In my case if IR5.bat is in the Hidden System Partition, i need to go to C: in WinRE to find it.

If i put it in System Drive ( C:, my case ), i need to go to D: in WinRE.

Analyzing your case and mine, i guess we should leave as is for now. Who don't have the hidden partition will have no problem since the systemdrive and systemvolume are the same. Whoever continues acessing IR5.bat in C:

If we change, those who have the hidden partition will not find IR5.bat in C:, at least D:...

The problem is when the system is installed on another partition and also a few cases like yours (I can not understand why the partitions are out of order within the WinRE).

P.S.: I did a test similar to yours...Good testing code.

I think MD has done that to avoid cases like mine. If he had placed in the system partition (C:, in my case), i would not find in C: but in D:

I agree with you: we really need to find a way to consistantly place IR5.bat and then check if it's correctly placed (solve our problems, at least for now).
