Batch file Help

[mattyj1085]

Im trying to add a format drive line into the start of a batch file but I keep getting the error
"Enter current volume label for drive D: An incorrect volume label was entered for this drive."

The code im using is

ECHO Y| Format d: /FS:NTFS /v:AimData /q

The drive d: already exists and is called AimData already all I want to do is quick format it.

Can any one help?

Cheers

You need to give the volume label, not just assigned drive letter

I've tried this command and I get an error saying The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe.

ECHO Y| Format AimData /FS:NTFS /v:AimData /q

Can you do it in two steps?
Use ECHO Y| Format d: /FS:NTFS /q and then use the Label d: AimData

 

[eXor]

ECHO Y| Format d: /FS:NTFS /v:AimData /q

Delete the existing label first?

label d:
format d: /y /q /fs:NTFS /v:AimData
