Brought improvement (?) to the combobox : Code: Foreach ($USBDisk in $Disks) { $FriendlyName=($USBDisk.FriendlyName).PadRight(36," ").substring(0,36) $USBDisks+=$USBDisk.DiskNumber $USBDiskList.Items.Add(("{0,-36}|{1:n2} GB" -f $FriendlyName,($USBDisk.Size/1GB)))|out-null $Partitions = Get-Partition | Where-Object { $_.DiskNumber -eq $USBDisk.DiskNumber} If ($Partitions) { Foreach ($Partition in $Partitions) { $Volumes=get-volume | Where-Object {$Partition.AccessPaths -contains $_.path } Foreach ($Volume in $Volumes) { $USBDisks+=$USBDisk.DiskNumber $USBDiskList.Items.Add(("{0,-7}|{1,1}:|{2,-3}|{3:n2} GB" -f " ", ($Partition.DriveLetter), $Volume.FileSystemLabel.PadRight(25," ").substring(0,25), ($Partition.Size/1GB)))|out-null } } } } The disk name is displayed, followed by partition informations if present. User can select disk or partition. A non-proportional font should be used for displaying. I use Courier New.
You can get the disk number by executing diskpart and entering list disk. IMHO it's not usefull to display this information.
Modified how the partitions are displayed in the combobox a bit Code: Foreach ($USBDisk in $Disks) { $FriendlyName=($USBDisk.FriendlyName).PadRight(36," ").substring(0,36) $USBDisks+=$USBDisk.DiskNumber $USBDiskList.Items.Add(("{0,-80}{1:n2} GB" -f $FriendlyName,($USBDisk.Size/1GB)))|out-null $Partitions = Get-Partition | Where-Object { $_.DiskNumber -eq $USBDisk.DiskNumber} If ($Partitions) { Foreach ($Partition in $Partitions) { $Volumes=get-volume | Where-Object {$Partition.AccessPaths -contains $_.path } Foreach ($Volume in $Volumes) { $USBDisks+=$USBDisk.DiskNumber $USBDiskList.Items.Add((" ({0,-1}{1,1}:{2,-60}{3:n2} GB )" -f " ", ($Partition.DriveLetter), $Volume.FileSystemLabel.PadRight(25," ").substring(0,25), ($Partition.Size/1GB)))|out-null } } } }
This does not work properly for me... It creates the BOOT 700MB FAT32 partition on an 8GB USB Drive, closes the CMD window and QUITS... No NTFS partition is created therefore, the .iso files are not copied to the USB Drive... The remaining unused portion of the USB Drive is a 6.78 GB Unallocated partition... I ran CMD as Admin... The .iso is a LTSC 2019 w/ CU .678 created with W10UI_6.6 and is located in a folder on Desktop with the Windows Installation Disk v1.4.cmd
Sorry MMIKEE, something else in your system, might be interfering with the script. I tested it on 2 different OSes with no problems.
Added a pop up after the script finishes.

As i told you before (cf post #141), a non-proportional font should be used for displaying. I use Courier New. This is what i coded: Spoiler Code: ... $USBDiskList.Width=380;$USBDiskList.height=20;$USBDiskList.Font='Courier New,10' ... Foreach ($USBDisk in $Disks) { $FriendlyName=($USBDisk.FriendlyName).PadRight(36," ").substring(0,36) $USBDisks+=$USBDisk.DiskNumber $USBDiskList.Items.Add(("{0,-36}|{1:n2} GB" -f $FriendlyName,($USBDisk.Size/1GB)))|out-null $Partitions = Get-Partition | Where-Object { $_.DiskNumber -eq $USBDisk.DiskNumber} If ($Partitions) { Foreach ($Partition in $Partitions) { $Volumes=get-volume | Where-Object {$Partition.AccessPaths -contains $_.path } Foreach ($Volume in $Volumes) { $USBDisks+=$USBDisk.DiskNumber $USBDiskList.Items.Add(("{0,-7}({1,1}:){2,-3}|{3:n2} GB" -f " ", ($Partition.DriveLetter), $Volume.FileSystemLabel.PadRight(25," ").substring(0,25), ($Partition.Size/1GB)))|out-null } } } } .... Some adjustements have to be made.
Use only fixed fonts for the combobox. Proportional fonts are ok for the other texts. Change $SelectUSB.Text to "Select USB disk or partition" : click on disk or partition have the same effect; only the disk number is used. A timeout of 2 seconds is added for the popup cancel messages; after that the popup closes.

Are there consequences to using proportional fonts for the drop box? The partition/s listed in the drop box are supposedly for information only. Better to just Select USB disk so less confusion.
When you look at the picture on the left of post #149, you can see that it is not neat; that is the only drawback with proportional fonts. It's only "cosmetic". If you prefer proportional fonts, it's up to you.
