DiskPart

attach vdisk
create partition primary
assign letter=g
format
===========
can xy scripts ask me to choose these colored values?

input() is your friend.

[yusef88]

thanks but how?
i can use it for one variable..what about multi variables

Code: Select all

$a = input("ShutDown Timer", "1h=3600);run "cmd /k ""Shutdown -r -f -t $a&exit"""

By using a divider if you want to use only one input for all three values.

E.g.:

Code: Select all

    $delim = "|";
    $vhdScriptName = "%temp%\~vhdScript.txt";
    $values = input("Input values...", "The delimiter is: " . $delim . "<crlf>1.) .vhd file name<crlf>2.) maximum<crlf>3. drive letter", "C:\vdisks\disk1.vhd|16000|g", , , 600, 200);

    $vhdFile = gettoken($values, 1, $delim);
    $vhdFolder = getpathcomponent($vhdFile, "path");
    $maximum = gettoken($values, 2, $delim);
    $driveLetter = gettoken($values, 3, $delim);

    if (exists($vhdFolder) == 0) { new($vhdFolder, "dir"); }

    $vhdScriptContent = <<<>>>
create vdisk file="$vhdFile" maximum=$maximum
attach vdisk
create partition primary
assign letter=$driveLetter
format
>>>;

    writefile($vhdScriptName, $vhdScriptContent);
    run """DISKPART"" /s ""$vhdScriptName""", , 2, 1;
    delete 0, 0, $vhdScriptName;

Untested but it should work.

Ofc you have to start it from an elevated XY (or use a vbscript that autoelevates it)...

i didn't test it yet...many thanks Mr highend

[yusef88]

doesn't work, it create a bat file in temp folder but no cmd window pops up, even running it manually does nothing

[highend]

?

You aren't using my script (it doesn't create a .bat file at all, only a .txt one)...

[yusef88]

OK i tested the script again, doesn't work for me

[highend]

It works for me...

1. You executed it from an ELEVATED XY instance?
2. The folder of the .vhd file was created?

What happens when you execute
diskpart /s <path to a .txt file, that contains the content of $vhdScriptContent (with resolved variable names)>

from a command prompt?
