How do I assign a drive letter to partition/volume?

Hi,
I am developing a partitioning utility in the user mode. After creating
the partitions I need the driver letter assignment to format these
partitions using FormatEx function provided by ntdll.dll. How do I assign
the drive letters to the partitions/volumes created?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Varsha

Hi Varsha

You can use SetVolumeMountPoint call documented in SDK. You can also use
DefineDosDevice. The mount point will be persistent across reboots if you
use SetVolumeMountPoint. You may lose the mount point after reboot if you
use DefineDosDevice.
