Hey everyone,
i have been working on this script that will make a usb drive bootable (yes, its possible) and ive been running into problems with variables in the diskpart script. Is this even possible???? i hope so...cuz i dont want to go to c++ =/

by variables i mean:
in the batch file have something like

Code: Select all

echo what letter is the drive?:
set /p u=
diskpart /s drive.txt

and then in the drive.txt file

Code: Select all

select drive %u%

**i know there isnt a "drive" flag for diskpart, its the idea thats im getting at

Perhaps you can use your batch file to create the drive.txt file. I'm not particularly familiar with the diskpart command . . .

Code: Select all

echo what letter is the drive?: 
set /p u= 
echo select drive %u% >> drive.txt
diskpart /s drive.txt
