> Hi all,
> I have a problem.
> How to lock and Dismount a volume in a drive which has no current
partitions
> i.e. without any drive letters?
>
> The scenario is:
> I have created a partition and formatted (FAT) the same with my own code.
> But the NT Explorer doesn’t recognize the partition or assign drive letter
> to it until reboot, and Windisk shows the partition as Unknown.
> After rebooting everything works fine.
> This is because I couldn’t Lock and Dismount the volume without the drive
> letter.
>
> Is there any way to make NT assign drive letter to a new partition without
> rebooting?
>
> Any Information regarding this would be highly appreciated.
