"Rescan Disks" at the Command Line

In Disk Management under the Computer Management tool, there is an action
called "Rescan Disks". Is there a command in the Command Line that can do the
exact same thing?

I don't have a Vista machine, but this works for me on XP
echo rescan>rescan.txt & diskpart /s rescan.txt

I realize this is an old topic, but in the hopes that this helps someon
who ends up here from a search while looking for an answer to thi
problem, here are another couple of simple ways to achieve this i
Vista. Neither of these require the use of an external text file

On the good old fashoned command prompt

*echo rescan | diskpart

From a PowerShell prompt

*"rescan" | diskpart

Hope this helps
