Ok. I'll try to figure it out on my own, but thanks for your help.

I know that not all OS's are on C:\.( Which is why I wasn’t just looking for the Drive Letters, because letters have no bearing on whether it’s a system volume, DVD Drive, or Removable media, etc...)

I don't think the question is that misleading. I wanted to know how to get the number under the "Volume ###" label in my DISKPART printout, which is “Volume 0” and “Volume 1”, which would make the numbers I was looking for “0” and “1” and how else besides DISKPART these volume numbers could be found. Because I figured, which I guess is wrong, was that DISKPART had to get those numbers from somewhere in the system configuration. I guess DISKPART is just making those numbers up for its own use. To use DISKPART, you have to use those numbers in order to select the volume you want to delete, format, or resize. I thought maybe someone else had used it and would be able to help. Have you ever used DISKPART?

By "System Reserve" I meant the 100MB partition that Windows 7 uses to boot and store restore settings, which usually doesn't have name, but is still a volume. In the disk manager it calls it “System Reserved”.

Yea, I dont think its going to happen that way. So here is my intent with this project: I want to create a app that starts upon WinPE 4.0 booting. It basically will have 2 buttons and and a textbox. Each button will be for deploying either a laptop or desktop Windows 7 image, and the textbox will be for redirecting the output of diskpart. Do you know another way that I could identify which volumes are the local drive volumes(system reserve and windows) and delete them?

Great, whatever you can help with would be greatly appreciated, because I just know where else to look. I have taken a look at Espen's application. I will definitely use in the future. Thank you.

I don't know. I thought it was the "logical volume ID". In Disk Management, if you go to the properties of the partition, it is listed as "location", but I cannot find anything else on it, other than diskpart using it and it being in Disk Management. Also, I just want the "0" or "1", without the "Volume"

I just want to get that number after where it says "Volume" in my top Diskpart printout. ex. 0, 1.

I updated my question with a little more details.

The DeviceID in Win32_Volume does not give the volume numbers that is used in diskpart. It gives more of a long GUID like number. I have looked through so many of the WMI classes and cannot seem to find it. Any ideas?

Great! I will try it out. Thanks!

I have tried both. I use the DeviceID to get the drive letter. The PNPDeviceID comes up blank.

Check out this link from this site. It's in C#, but you can convert to VB.

I don't know how I could miss something like that! LOL. Thanks so much! I am going to give it try now.

Have you tried stopping IIS before you delete the VDir? I noticed with our IIS, we need to stop it, create/delete the VDir, and then restart IIS.

This was the DLL I was referencing. When I go through the different classes and different docs on the left, it just all seems incomplete, so I seeing if anyone used it.

Ok. Thanks.

No

I figured it out. I noticed that I was NOT starting a new instance of the converter in my converter function.

Ok, so I have it going through the folder and getting each folder name. I am using LameSHell from Qualtar. I guess with Lame, you have to loop through it with a DO LOOP. Because when I do just a FOR EACH, it just converts the first file. When I do a DO UNTIL, it goes through but hangs up the program. Maybe you can take a look at my code?

Private Sub btnConvert_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnConvert.Click
Dim cNumber As ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("C:\Temp")
Dim count As Integer = CInt(cNumber.Count)
Dim index As Integer = 1
Dim c As Integer = 0
Dim oPath = "C:\Temp\"
Dim dInfo As New DirectoryInfo(oPath)
Dim fArr As FileInfo() = dInfo.GetFiles()
Dim fri As FileInfo

Do
For Each fri In fArr
index += 1
Dim sfname = GetFileName(oPath + fri.Name)
ConvertFiles(oPath + sfname + ".wav", "C:\_ConvertedFiles\" + sfname + ".mp3")
lblConverted.Text = c + 1
Next fri
Loop Until index = count

Yea, i did convert it to VB. I am going to try it in about 10 minutes......I will let you know how I make out.

Thanks! I am looking through it now. Sorry, I am new at software development and have not worked with recursion that much. But it looks like this may be what i need.(if i can figure out how to code it).
