  1. For those of us with more than one hard drive, and with power management options enabled for disks, you might find yourself in the same situation as I've been in - asking the question 'Is that drive really powered down?'. I coded up the below example to get that information to you. Note that it reads power states for ALL drives, and the status information for removable & virtual drives will either show up as 'Unknown' or Powered-On. As a courtesy, please be sure to credit me or keep the UDF header intact if you use the code ; =============================================================================================================================== ; <DrivesPowerStatus.au3> ; ; Reports the Power status for all drives. ; ; Functions: ; _DriveGetPowerState() ; Returns a boolean indicating drive status (True=active, False=low power or powered-off) ; ; Author: Ascend4nt ; =============================================================================================================================== #include <Array.au3> Local $aDrives,$aDevInfo $aDrives=DriveGetDrive("ALL") ; returns array of 'drive:' with lower-case letters If @error Then Exit ; Create 2D array - 2nd column will carry the Power State info, 3rd Drive Type Dim $aDriveStates[$aDrives[0]+1][3] ; Copy over drives and get Power States For $i=1 To $aDrives[0] $aDriveStates[$i][0]=StringUpper($aDrives[$i]) $aDriveStates[$i][1]=_DriveGetPowerState($aDrives[$i]) If @error Then $aDriveStates[$i][1]="Unknown" $aDriveStates[$i][2]=DriveGetType($aDrives[$i]) Next $aDriveStates[0][0]="Drive" $aDriveStates[0][1]="Active Power State?" $aDriveStates[0][2]="Drive Type" _ArrayDisplay($aDriveStates,"Drives Power Status") ; =================================================================================================================== ; Func _DriveGetPowerState($sDrive) ; ; Returns a boolean representing the active power state of the given drive. ; True = Active (powered on, active), False = Inactive (either powered off, or in a low power state) ; ; $sDrive = Drive letter, or full path (only the Drive letter is extracted from the string) ; ; Returns: ; Success: True/False ; Failure: -1, with @error set: ; @error = 1 = invalid parameter ; @error = 2 = DLLCall error. @extended contains DLLCall error code (see AutoIt Help) ; @error = 3 = API call error.
