> could you explain the "for /f line"?

Executes command DIR W: and pipes output to FIND command, to trap
the line that contains the volume label:
Volume in drive W is [label]

Parses that line to identify the 6th space-delimited token (here,
the 6th word -- i.e., the volume label) and assigns it to
replaceable parameter %A.

Executes SET command to assign %A to variable V. %V% can then be
used to test for equivalence with "Week-ATAPI6".

For further info., issue P1 CMD/C FOR/? on the CMline.
