That might be the easiest way to creating a tool, since you'd have existing logic to leverage. But to answer your original question, you can certainly use the information from Disk Management to figure out the mapping. <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/devices.cc?rev=1.31&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src> should help in that regard. But essentially, "Disk 0" = /dev/sda, etc. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
