Topic: Change Virtual Drive Letter and unmounting?
started by: paulf123

Posted by paulf123 on Jan. 28 2007,18:58
Greetings.

a) Is there any way to change the virtual drive letter. I always like to assign virtual drive as V: for example. I tried editing the .ini but no luck.

b) There doesn't seem to be any option to unmount and image from a virtual drive?

Thanks!

Command-line support for ISODrive
 - A program named isocmd.exe is located in "C:\Program Files\UltraISO\drivers" folder, you can use it to mount/unmount ISOs to ISODrive
 - Print ISODrive letters
 isocmd -print
 - Mount command
 isocmd -mount drive: file_spec
 Example: isocmd -mount L: "d:\isos\mycd.iso"
 - Unmount command
 isocmd -eject drive:
 Example: isocmd -eject L:
 - Change drive letter of ISODrive
 isocmd -change device# driveLetter:
 Example: isocmd -change 1 F:
 Note: Please restart Windows to employ the new setting of drive letter

Thanks xoben!

I see also you can unmount by right clicking the drive > UISO > eject (not eject from the first menu.)

Although the isocmd will allow me to "eject" it does not "unmount" the drive.  The "eject" command removes the "virtual disk" from the "virtual drive", but it does not remove the "virtual drive" from Windows.

After using "eject" to remove the disk I still see the drive letter in Windows Explorer, but it has no disk - and at this point it shouldn't have a disk, so that's correct.  But if the drive were actually "unmounted" I should not see it in Windows at all.

Is there a way to remove the "virtual drive" -- to "unmount" it?

Sorry, this feature is not supported yet.

so as i understand it changing the virtual drive number can only be done from the command line and 'undoing' the assignment of a virtual drive can't be done at all?


In your example of changing the name you don't explain how device numbers are assigned.

If UISO is removed from WinXP, will the virtual drive go away?
Posted by robomatic on Mar. 08 2007,01:05
The answer to the previous question is affirmative.

Now that you've answered the same question that I already answered, would you please answer the one I asked earlier that you have yet to address:

"so as i understand it changing the virtual drive number can only be done from the command line and 'undoing' the assignment of a virtual drive can't be done at all?


In your example of changing the name you don't explain how device numbers are assigned. "

Please elaborate on using the command line to change assignment of the virtual drive.

Thanks!

1) Virtual drive number cannot be changed
2) You can assign a drive letter to a virtual drive via command-line

Posted by robomatic on Mar. 13 2007,00:06
1) I think we agree on this. Software can initiate virtual drive but not uninitiate it without being removed.
2) HOW?

If you're running Vista, you need to use "Run as administrator" when you open the command Prompt box.  Then use isocmd -change 1 X:

The mount command is NOT working here.

If I enter:

IsoCmd -mount V: An.iso

then I am getting an answer:

Drive:[V:], File:[\??\An.iso]

and no drive letter V: appears in Windows Explorer.
"An.iso" IS in the drivers folder and a valid iso image!

Whats wrong ?

IsoCmd -mount V: An.iso

Full path should be entered, such as "C:\An.iso"

I tried this - of cause - as well but it
the result was the same.....

So do you have other solution ?

This is how you can change the Number of Virtual Drive :

QUOTE
IsoCmd -remove
IsoCmd -number #
IsoCmd -install

Replace # by the desired Number of Virtual Drives you want.
[I]Tip: Set it to 0 will remove virtual drive.

Options >> Configurations... >> Virtual Drive >> and set the number of devices to none

I realize this post is over a year old, but stuff stays forever on the Web, so I thought I would post a solution. I d/l'ed a trial of UISO 9 and also could not remove the virtual drive letter from my Windows 2000 computer. Earlier in this post was this:
CODE

That's sad to hear, but in fact, you can do it in the Registry. Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints

You will see lots of drive letters. Look at the drive letters and look for the one which you want removed, it will have
subdirectories.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\P\_DriveFlags
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\P\_Autorun
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\P\_DIL

We want to delete _DriveFlags, but to be safe, just rename it to _DriveFlagsx
Now reboot, virtual P drive is gone, and if you want, delete the renamed subdir.

To change the virtual drive letter, right-click on "My computer" and click on Manage.

Go to "Disk Management" on the left menu.  Virtual drives will appear in the bottom pane along with harddrives and optical drives.  Right-click on your drive of choice and click "Change drive letters and paths."

Click change.

I can't guarantee that this will work for virtual drives but it works for flash drives, optical drives, and harddrives other than your system drive.
