I would like to know on filling USB (32 GB) with following image by copy and paste many times using powershell script. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance Image location C:\samples.jpg
Hi @oemScript-8271 ,
maybe this helps.
$targetpath = "<target drive>"
$sourcefile = "samples.jpg" # Just put the sourcefile in the same folder with the script
$copies = 15
$counter = 0
do {
Copy-Item -path $sourcefile -Destination "$targetpath\$counter$sourcefile"
$counter++
} until ($counter -eq $copies)

For target drive, I would like to know on what should be filled in for F: Drive
$targetpath = "F:", correct?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)
If you want to copy the files directly on the USB drive (F:) it should be $targetpath = "F:" or $targetpath = "F:\" (I haven't tested it with a drive, just with a folder on my MacBook)

Hi,
You may try this
$drive = 'F:'
$image = 'C:\samples.jpg'
$times =[int][Math]::Floor((Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID = '$drive'").FreeSpace/(Get-Item -Path $image).Length)
for($i=0;$i -le $times; $i++)
{
Copy-Item -Path $image -Destination $drive\samples$i.jpg
}
Best Regards,

$targetpath = "F:"
$sourcefile = "D:\Sample.bmp" # Just put the sourcefile in the same folder with the script
$copies = 15
$counter = 0
do {
Copy-Item -path $sourcefile -Destination "$targetpath\$counter$sourcefile"
$counter++
} until ($counter -eq $copies)
Your destination path "$targetpath\$counter$sourcefile" is like "F:\5D:\Sample.bmp". Just remove the driver letter of the source file from your destination path.
The $sourcefile should be just the name of the file and not the path.
$sourcefile = "sample.jpg"
