My mistake. Test() is not necessary. Just delete it. I updated the code.
You just need:
Code: Select all
status = DeviceIoControl_(hdh, $4d004, @pswb, SizeOf(t_SPTD), @pswb, Length, @returned, @OL)
Do not forget to change the number in
"\\.\PhysicalDrive2" to your own disk number. I have two internals and this drive so it is drive #2. Change that number if needed.
I would recommend to wait a little as I will post a new updated code in a while and your drives may be detected then.

Well, you have lost me there because I do not know what exactly "\\.\PhysicalDrive2" represents, or what that API CreateFile_() function is going to do or how safe it is to run your code.....

From
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx :
Another example of using the Win32 device namespace is using the CreateFile function with "\\.\PhysicalDiskX" (where X is a valid integer value) or "\\.\CdRomX". This allows you to access those devices directly, bypassing the file system. This works because these device names are created by the system as these devices are enumerated, and some drivers will also create other aliases in the system. For example, the device driver that implements the name "C:\" has its own namespace that also happens to be the file system.
In other words, we take handle of the drive (we say the OS we want to 'talk' to the specified physical drive and we take a number as handle to do the 'interrogation') and then we tell the drive to send as the data we need. It is read-only operation so it is harmless.
Let me say that I was surprised to read such a line from someone that is programming for at least 5 years and has 4187 posts in this forum...

.... Well, nobody knows everything! Most of my posts are asking questions, not answering them, though of course I have helped others along the way. I was concerned too that others trying to help you could end up harming the data stored on their drives (so many people out there with only one drive and no backups). "\\.\PhysicalDiskX" was a conundrum because I didn't know what each drive's number was in this context.

Your file tells a lot. First of all you must have 5 hard drives and your Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 is the sixth drive, external one. The code detectes the drive successfully and retrieves 588 bytes. I know that they are some drives that cannot be detected, like my Transcend 80GB USB drive. I keep on search for a way to solve the problem. I made a thought, to use this code:
Code: Select all
For b0 = 0 To 10
Debug "b0 = " +Str(b0)
For b1 = 0 To $ff
Debug " b1 = " +Str(b1)
For b2 = 0 To $ff
Debug " b2 = " +Str(b2)
For b3 = 0 To $ff
Debug " b3 = " +Str(b3)
For b4 = 0 To $ff
Debug " b4 = " +Str(b4)
For b5 = 0 To $ff
Debug " b5 = " +Str(b5)
For b6 = 0 To $ff
Debug " b6 = " +Str(b6)

Thanks a lot for your help. I apologize if I was impolite with you. There was no intention.
EDIT: What is the second external drive? What is your OS?

It is a difficult task for sure. This PC is WinXP x86. There are 4 internal drives, 2 external drives.

One external drive is Seagate Barracuda 7200.11. What is the other one?

I don't know what Seagate family either external drive is based on. The external drive names are 'FreeAgent' and 'Expansion'

OK. Tomorrow I will post my latest code. I try to do a very small tiny detect of flash drives too.

Well here is some news - since running your code CreateFile_("\\.\PhysicalDrive2" etc, the OS cannot 'see' the Expansion drive, even after a re-boot. I didn't realise until my back-up failed because that is what the drive is for.
