Changing a drive letter of a removable drive or DVD drive is an easy task with Windows PowerShell. Using the Win32_Volume class and the Set-CimInstance cmdlet a drive letter can be reassigned. The following code will change the drive letter for the F: drive and change the drive letter to Z:
$DvdDrive = Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_Volume -Filter "driveletter='F:'"
Set-CimInstance -InputObject $DvdDrive -Arguments @{DriveLetter="Z:"}
Alternatively this can also be executed in a single line of code by using the pipeline:
Get-CimInstance -Query "SELECT * FROM Win32_Volume WHERE driveletter='F:'" |
Set-CimInstance -Arguments @{DriveLetter="Z:"}
For more information about the Win32_Volume class have a look at the MSDN entry here:
