> wmic logicaldisk get caption
Caption
C:
D:
E:
if probably the easiest one. Doesn't need administrative privileges, doesn't return more or less than what's needed, etc.
If you want to use it in a script, then wrap it in for /f
with the skip=1
option:
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%x in ('wmic logicaldisk get caption') do @echo.%%x
If you're in Command Prompt:
diskpart
then
list volume
sample output:
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info ---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- -------- Volume 0 E DVD-ROM 0 B No Media Volume 1 System Rese NTFS Partition 100 MB Healthy System Volume 2 C System NTFS Partition 99 GB Healthy Boot Volume 3 F Data (local NTFS Partition 365 GB Healthy
and finally
exit
to return to the command line.
For the sake of completeness, there is yet another way:
fsutil fsinfo drives
which returns:
Drives: C:\ D:\ E:\ F:\
(Not a very scripting-friendly output, but it may be useful for human eye)
Some reference. That should work since win2k but only with Administrator account.
