You would create a text file with the commands you want Diskpart to execute, and then invoke Diskpart with the textfile path and name as one of the parameters.

I actually wrote a batch file using diskpart and turned it into a USB Pen Drive Letter switching executable. The problem is that you cant hard code the Volume selection or the drive letter to assign it to!! So what i did was take the users input, export it into a text file and then run disk part against the text file using the -s (script)parameter.

Here's my code if you'd like to take a look and the executable itself can be downlaoded from here:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
color 0E
mode con lines=22 cols=86
echo>list.txt
echo>list.txt list volume
@echo on
diskpart -s list.txt
@echo off
set /p DLA=Enter desired volume:
echo:
set /p LTT=Enter drive letter:
echo:
echo>move.txt
echo>move.txt list volume
echo>>move.txt select volume %DLA%
echo>>move.txt assign letter=%LTT%
@echo off
diskpart -s move.txt
echo:
Del /f "list.txt"
Del /f "move.txt"
echo:
echo:
pause
exit /b

Hope this helps  :D
