hi, I was wondering how i could map a logical device letter to its physical device call ie. C: to physicaldevice1. I am using createfile to access the drives but i want to be able to tell what drive letter corresponds to each physicaldevice#
could anyone help me out?
thanks
Again, this has nothing to do with C++ and much to do with Windows programming, so next time, post in the Windows board. It's not hard.
I hate real numbers.
sorry, is there a chance a moderator could move my post to there?
sorry
Moved.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
cheers - wont happen again.
hopefully some guys from this forum will be able to advise me
thank you
You don't say what language you're looking for, but regardless I think you're looking to use WMI to do this. Here's a link on C# I googled up.
sorry i should have stated that, im looking to write it in c++. Ive seen the example on msdn but i can make it wok and it seems like a lot of code to do such a task
You mean you have seen this example and are looking for a more direct way to do the mapping ?
Your problem is solved then. Isn't it ?i can make it work
I hate real numbers.
sorry (oh my god could this post go anymore worng haha). No i have seen the example but I cant make it work, my typo there, sorry again. When I put that code into my command line compiler i get an error with the line
my compiler says undefined symbol '__in'Code:__in PWCHAR VolumeName
You're not using Visual Studio I gather.
Well, these annotations are Microsoft extensions, so you should not use them.
