add extra drive letter via comand line or registry

[eddweb]

how do you addi a 2nd drive (2x virtual drives) without loading up the gui?

i need 2x virtual drives as need 2x virtual cd's in the computer at the same time
this was working fine till i did an update and now i only have 1 drive on every computer :doh:

command line registry dll call all would help, changes needed on over 60 computers in a charity school.

this will be very helpfull, many thanks

Virtual CloneDrive stores the Number of drives in two places in the registry:

HKCU\Software\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive:
DWORD NumberOfDrives

and

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VClone
DWORD NumberOfDrives

You can create a .reg file and merge it to the registry from the command line. If you do this, you'll need to reboot for the change to take effect.

It may possible do it without reboot by using DevCon command.

Example:

DevCon restart @ROOT\SCSIADAPTER\0000
