Hi

I want to remove the drive letter and then reassign the letter. This is achieved by using DISKPART's remove letter, assign letter.

But I want to achieve this task programatically using C++.

Can anyone tell the windows API to achieve this task ?

Thanks

Hi Inmar,

You should have a look at the following MSDN article:

.

[Update]

Somehow I added the wrong link....

This is the correct link:
