[SOLVED] using mountvol in windows

[vickey_20]

Hey guys i messed up my windows drives. I came to know about a command mountvol similar to mount in linux, so thought to give it a try but forgot that win$ doesn't provide any man pages. On cmd I issued a command 'mountvol /N' which disables auto mounting of drives and quickly reverted by issuing 'mountvol /E' but to my surprise now my flash drive is not auto mounting. I m in trouble here.

now my flash drive is not auto mounting

In which OS? Linux or Windows?
In case it problem is in Windows OS, I would suggest you to ask for help/suggestion in Windows OS Forums only.

It's in windows. I tried the mountvol /E to enable auto mounting but no use. The pen drive gets connected but there is no mount point.

Here is the o/p of mountvol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Windows\system32>mountvol
Creates, deletes, or lists a volume mount point.

MOUNTVOL [drive:]path VolumeName
MOUNTVOL [drive:]path /D
MOUNTVOL [drive:]path /L
MOUNTVOL [drive:]path /P
MOUNTVOL /R
MOUNTVOL /N
MOUNTVOL /E

path Specifies the existing NTFS directory where the mount
point will reside.
VolumeName Specifies the volume name that is the target of the mount
point.
/D Removes the volume mount point from the specified directory.
/L Lists the mounted volume name for the specified directory.
/P Removes the volume mount point from the specified directory,
dismounts the volume, and makes the volume not mountable.
You can make the volume mountable again by creating a volume
mount point.
/R Removes volume mount point directories and registry settings
for volumes that are no longer in the system.
/N Disables automatic mounting of new volumes.
/E Re-enables automatic mounting of new volumes.

Possible values for VolumeName along with current mount points are:

\\?\Volume{acb1fd34-1cf0-11de-b607-806e6f6e6963}\
C:\

\\?\Volume{acb1fe47-1cf0-11de-b607-001b24aee195}\
F:\

\\?\Volume{df7d7ab3-24d1-11de-90fc-001b24aee195}\
G:\

\\?\Volume{acb1fd35-1cf0-11de-b607-806e6f6e6963}\
D:\

\\?\Volume{acb1fd38-1cf0-11de-b607-806e6f6e6963}\
E:\

\\?\Volume{1d2a3655-1e6c-11de-a371-001b24aee195}\
*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

the last one is the pen drive. before it showed it mounted on H:\ but now there is no mount point.

I tried doing this
---------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Windows\system32>mountvol \\?\Volume{1d2a3655-1e6c-11de-a371-001b24aee195}\ H
:\
The directory is not empty.

ok people i finally got the answer. It is simple , go to disk managment and simply assign the pen drive a path and you are done and please dont mess around with win$ stuff lol cause they dont provide any man pages
