Using DeleteVolumeMountPoint function.
-
Hey I used DeleteVolumeMountPoint function to remove a USB drive (E:) from my machine. Now i want to bring that back. I tried re-booting and that doesn't seems to help. I think calling SetVolumeMountPoint function will bring it back. But that function needs the GUID of USB drive, which i don't have. Any ideas how to get the USB drive(volume - E:\) back? Can i do that via regedit? If so, how? THanks in advance

Got a system restore point from before you deleted it? [If not, why not? ;P ]

If you want to do it programmatically, there is some work to do around the
SetVolumeMountPointfunction. The easiest way is to do it from the Control Panel: open the Administrative tools and run Computer management, then select the section Disk management. There you can see all the disks, both removable and not; you should right-click on the USB drive and select Change drive letter and path (or Assign drive letter and path, or similar). Cheers, Sauro -
