method: use the command dir

this will also show the name of your drive.

---

method: use the command '@LABEL[ <your disk letter>: ]

---

e.g.

// Get the label volume name of drive c:

echo %@LABEL[ c: ]

gives e.g. 'unlabeled'

---

e.g.

// Get the label volume name of drive d:

echo %@LABEL[ d: ]

gives e.g. 'Volume_1'

---

e.g.

// Get the label volume name of drive e:

echo %@LABEL[ e: ]

gives e.g. 'unlabeled'

---

e.g.

// Get the label volume name of drive f:

echo %@LABEL[ f: ]

gives e.g. 'PKBACK# 001'

---

e.g.

// Get the label volume name of drive g:

echo %@LABEL[ g: ]

gives e.g. 'unlabeled'

---

e.g. if the disk does not exist, you get this message:

echo %@LABEL[ m: ]
