.Bat for disabling dvd drive?

[MrIceCremeLollipop]

So I know there is a .bat command for shutting down on windows 7 becuase I had it but my dvd drive is really annoying and keeps spinning up really loud (i have a laptop) so is there a .bat command for disabling/enabling it insted of going on to computer management?

Thanks

I'd personally just disable it through computer management, Not sure if there's a way of doing it through a .bat file.

 

I remember there's the prank where everyone used to hide the .bat file on the desktop and have it open every time the computer started.

Was really annoying.

 

Not sure if you'd be able to do anything like that to stop it from spinning up.

sorry for necro but here's the answer

you can put this command in a .bat

 

||

pnputil /disable-device "SCSI\CDROM&VEN_HP&PROD_CDDVDW_SN-208DB\4&2C493A39&0&010000" 

||

 

to find the device instance id of what you want to disable:

 

- open device manager (devmgmt.msc) 

- right-click the device you want to disable and click properties

- in the popup window go to the Details tab

- from the drop down, select Device instance path

- right click and copy the string shown in the box below. paste it in the command (prompt or powershell (you probably have to put the id in quotation marks))
