I recently needed to create and format a disk partition from a batch file. To make this more fun, I needed to run the batch file from a USB disk which mounted as the D drive, but I needed the new partition to be the D drive when finished. in the interest of full disclosure, there are other ways to do this, but I wanted to do it from a batch file because I was doing other things from batch files at the time – so this method fit in. I started this by doing running diskpart and learning what could do and how to do it. To start I knew that I needed to create disk 0 partition 2 and format it with NTFS. The commands in diskpart are: select disk 0 create partition primary noerr select part 2 format fs=ntfs label=Data quick These command create and partition disk 0 partition 2 and format the disk. But what I found is that the USB disk was the D drive and the new partition was the F driver, not what I want. But if before creating the partition, I ch ...

pnputil.exe -i -a "c:\OEM\mydrive.inf"
Which I included in the following batch file, which copies the driver to a folder on the C drive, installs the driver, then reboots if the user agrees.
@echo off xcopy /s /e /q /Y /I OEM c:\OEM pnputil.exe -i -a "c:\OEM\mydrive.inf" echo. echo. echo A reboot is necessary for these changes to take effect. echo. set /p input= "Reboot Now (Y/N)?" echo %input% IF "%input%"=="y" goto :REBOOT IF "%input%"=="Y" goto :REBOOT goto :EOF :REBOOT shutdown /r /t 0
@echo off
xcopy /s /e /q /Y /I OEM c:\OEM
echo. echo. echo A reboot is necessary for these changes to take effect. echo. set /p input= "Reboot Now (Y/N)?"
echo %input% IF "%input%"=="y" goto :REBOOT IF "%input%"=="Y" goto :REBOOT goto :EOF
:REBOOT shutdown /r /t 0
