How do I get the drive letter for the ISO I mounted with Mount-DiskImage

Question

I have an ISO I mount via the Mount-DiskImage command. However, I don't know how to get the drive letter for the mounted disk Image. I try $mountResult = Mount-DiskImage D:\ISOs\clonezilla-live-1.2.12-10-i486.iso -PassThru. None of the information that is returned is the drive letter as illustrated below:

PS C:\Windows\system32> $mountResult | fl *   Attached              : False BlockSize             : 0 DevicePath            :  FileSize              : 110100480 ImagePath             : D:\ISOs\clonezilla-live-1.2.12-10-i486.iso LogicalSectorSize     : 2048 Number                :  Size                  : 110100480 StorageType           : 1 PSComputerName        :  CimClass              : ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage:MSFT_DiskImage CimInstanceProperties : {Attached, BlockSize, DevicePath, FileSize...} CimSystemProperties   : Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimSystemProperties  PS C:\Windows\system32> $mountResult | select -ExpandProperty CimSystemProperties | fl *   Namespace  : ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage ServerName : ECHO-BASE ClassName  : MSFT_DiskImage Path       :  

Calling Get-DiskImage D:\ISOs\clonezilla-live-1.2.12-10-i486.iso after doesn't return the drive letter either.

How do I get the drive letter?

Answer 1

Try this:

$mountResult = Mount-DiskImage D:\ISOs\clonezilla-live-1.2.12-10-i486.iso -PassThru $mountResult | Get-Volume 

This will return which drive letter that ISO is assigned to along with other info -- from there it's just a matter of parsing the output.

EDIT: This will return JUST the drive letter:

$driveLetter = ($mountResult | Get-Volume).DriveLetter

Answer 2

FYI I had an issue mounting same image again so I made a small change, which checks if image is already mounted if not mounts and give the volume.

$ImagePath= " " ## Path of ISO image to be mounted  $ISODrive = (Get-DiskImage -ImagePath $ImagePath | Get-Volume).DriveLetter IF (!$ISODrive) { Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath $ImagePath -StorageType ISO } $ISODrive = (Get-DiskImage -ImagePath $ImagePath | Get-Volume).DriveLetter Write-Host ("ISO Drive is " + $ISODrive)
