Create new drive in a System using C#

[Kondapanaidu]

Hi,

I am using .NET 1.1 along with 2K Professional Operating System.

How to create a new drive in a system which is not available in my
system.

Example: My System is having the A,B,C,D,E these drives..

I need to create another drive like F which is not available.

I have the code for this...

Any body give the smart Idea rather than this One..

This is my code..

string [] ArrPossibleDriv es=new
string[]{"A","B","C","D ","E","F","G"," H","I","J","K", "L","M","N","O" ,"P"
,"Q","R","S","T ","U","V","W"," X","Y","Z"};

string [] ArrSysDrives=ne w string[10];
string strArrayElement ;
string MapDrive="";
int a;
ArrSysDrives=Sy stem.IO.Directo ry.GetLogicalDr ives();
for(int i=0;i<ArrSysDri ves.Length;i++)
{
strArrayElement =ArrSysDrives[i];
strArrayElement =strArrayElemen t.Substring(0,s trArrayElement. IndexOf(":",
0));
ArrSysDrives[i]=strArrayElemen t.ToUpper();
}

for (int i=0; i<ArrSysDrives. Length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < ArrPossibleDriv es.Length; j++)
{
a = ArrSysDrives[i].CompareTo(ArrP ossibleDrives[j]);
if(a==0) // If Exists=0 else returns -1
{
ArrPossibleDriv es[j]=null;
}
}
}
for(int i=0;i<ArrPossib leDrives.Length ;i++)
{
if(ArrPossibleD rives[i]!=null)
{
MapDrive=ArrPos sibleDrives[i];
break;
}
}

Thanks in advance for giving the great inputs

Thanks & regards

Hi,

How to create a new drive in a system which is not available in my
system.
What do you mean by creating a new drive? Do you want to create a partition?
Map a drive letter to a volume? Map a network share? Or do you just want to
figure out what the next free drive is(which is sorta what your code sample
looks like it's doing?)

You can't just create drives like directories and there is no support in the
framework to do anything remotely like any of the possiblities(un less you
are just trying to figure out the next free drive), but if you can tell me
what you mean exactly I might be able to find out if it can be done
natively.

Example: My System is having the A,B,C,D,E these drives..

I need to create another drive like F which is not available.

string strArrayElement ;
string MapDrive="";
int a;
ArrSysDrives=Sy stem.IO.Directo ry.GetLogicalDr ives();
for(int i=0;i<ArrSysDri ves.Length;i++)
{
strArrayElement =ArrSysDrives[i];
strArrayElement =strArrayElemen t.Substring(0,s trArrayElement. IndexOf(":",
0));
ArrSysDrives[i]=strArrayElemen t.ToUpper();
}

for (int i=0; i<ArrSysDrives. Length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < ArrPossibleDriv es.Length; j++)
{
a = ArrSysDrives[i].CompareTo(ArrP ossibleDrives[j]);
if(a==0) // If Exists=0 else returns -1
{
ArrPossibleDriv es[j]=null;
}
}
}

Hi,

You can execute net like : "net use f: \\servername " , you can use the
Process class
