Here is my version that does drive letter changes. It has little error checking. Usage is:

drivechange.pl x y

[download]

where x is the current drive letter and y is the new drive letter. Here is the code: 

#! perl -sl
use strict;

my $Foundit = 0;
my $Token = "";
my $Line = "";
my $VolNo = 0;
my $VolLet = "";
my $Trash = "";
my $Vol = "";
my $Num = 0;

my $Goal = uc($ARGV[0]);
my $NewGoal = uc($ARGV[1]);

# Find out all the drive letters
my @vols = split "\n", `echo list volume | diskpart`;

# Find out which volume corresponds to drive letter F
foreach $Line (@vols){
    next if(!defined($Line));
    ($Token,$Num,$Vol,$Trash) = split(' ',$Line,4);
    if(($Token =~ /^Volume$/) && ($Vol =~ /^$Goal$/)){
        $Foundit = 1;
        $VolLet = $Vol;
        $VolNo = $Num;
    }
}

if($Foundit == 1){
    &send_diskpart_command("select volume $VolNo\nremove letter=$Goal\
+nassign letter=$NewGoal");
} else {
    print("Couldn't find Volume $Goal.\n");
}



sub send_diskpart_command
{
    my $debug = 0;

    my ($diskpart_command) = @_;
    if ($diskpart_command eq "")
    {
    print "\n***No command passed to the send_diskpart_command subrout
+ine***\n" ;
    return ;
    }

# diskpart.exe requires a textfile input
# deleting the textfile if it already exists
# then creating a new textfile with the diskpart_command

    my $file = "diskpart_cmd.txt";

    if ($debug) { print "\nSearching for an existing copy of the text 
+file $file."; }
    if (unlink($file) == 1)
    {
    if ($debug) {print "\nThe file '$file' was found and deleted.";}
    }
    else {
    if ($debug) {print "\nThe file '$file' was not detected.";}
    }
             

    open (DPART, ">>$file") || die ("Could not open file. $!");
    print DPART ($diskpart_command);
    if ( $debug ) { print "\nCreated file '$file'." ; }
    close (DPART);

    if ( $debug ) { print "\n\nSending $diskpart_command." ; }
    open ( FH , "diskpart /s diskpart_cmd.txt|" ) || die ("Could not o
+pen file. $!");
    if ($debug) { print "\nCommand '$diskpart_command' sent to the hos
+t.\n"; }
    if ( $debug ) { print "\n"; }
    my @inFile = <FH> ; # read all at once into array
    foreach (@inFile)
    {
    if ( $debug ) { print $_."\t"; }
    }
    close (FH);

    if ($debug) # delete the textfile
    {
    if (unlink($file) == 1)
    {
        print "\n\nThe file '$file' was deleted successfully.\n";
    }
    else {
        print "\n\nThe file '$file' was not deleted.\n";
    }
    }
}
