Windows – Using DiskPart in a batch file to remove a disk

batchcommand linediskpartwindows

I would like to embed diskpart command with my batch file.

for example "gpupdate.bat" is my batch file

@echo off
@echo off
cd: c:\windows\system32
gpupdate /force
exit

I want following commands to embed with above batch file (or separate batch file.)

diskpart
list vol
sel vol 1
remove letter=E
exit

I've tried the following method (detail below) but it DIDN'T WORK

create text file "removeletter.txt" with following commands

diskpart list vol sel vol 1 remove letter=E exit

open command prompt 

c:\users\Admin diskpart /s removeletter.txt

nothing happens

but when I do it manually it works

cmd -> diskpart-> list vol-> sel vol 1=> remove letter=E

Best Answer

Writing your diskpart commands in a separate file should work. However, you don't need the diskpart command again at the top (just the commands after you call it), and the commands need to be on separate lines. And if you want this to be in a batch script, then you should call diskpart in a batch script that uses a text file.

whatever.bat

@echo off
diskpart /s removeletter.txt

removeletter.txt

list vol
sel vol 1
remove letter=E
