llewxam Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I can do a raw write to a hard drive, even when hooked up through a USB bridge, but can not to a flash drive. Any theories??**PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS TEST SCRIPT!!!!!!!!I have it hard-coded for \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2, if you are unsure of what that is, or how to determine which drive that may be for you, or care at all about the data on that drive should you be able to identify it, then DO NOT RUN THIS TEST!!#include <WinAPI.au3> $ChunkSize = 8 * 1024 * 1024 ConsoleWrite("building zero fill data, be patient" & @CR) $ZeroFill = "" For $a = 1 To $ChunkSize $ZeroFill &= Chr(0) Next $Destination = _WinAPI_CreateFile("\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2", 2, 4); CAREFUL!!!!!!!! BE SURE TO CHECK THIS!!!!! Local $nBytes, $nBytesWritten Local $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $ChunkSize & "]") Local $pBuffer = DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer) DllStructSetData($tBuffer, 1, $ZeroFill) $Write = _WinAPI_WriteFile($Destination, $pBuffer, $ChunkSize, $nBytesWritten) MsgBox(0, "Status", "Open Destination: " & $Destination & @CR & "Write: " & $Write)Setting the PHYSICALDRIVE number to a hard drive will return 1 for $Write. Any ideas would be appreciated, I have a suite of drive tools nearing completion and this issue has been stopping me for long enough! Forensic images, disk-to-disk cloning, testing, and wiping will be included in the suite.Thanks for any help!Ian My projects: IP Scanner - Multi-threaded ping tool to scan your available networks for used and available IP addresses, shows ping times, resolves IPs in to host names, and allows individual IPs to be pinged.

Beege Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 What does _Winapi_CreateFile() return when trying to write to the flash? Also the use of _WinAPI_GetLastError() is useful for these functions as any errors would be being set by the system. Assembly Code: fasmg . fasm . BmpSearch . Au3 Syntax Highlighter .

All functions, Create, SetPointer, Read were always good, but the Write would fail. Occasionally it will work fine like immediately after rebooting, so I may look in to finding a way to lock the drive from access by other apps....ThanksIan My projects: IP Scanner - Multi-threaded ping tool to scan your available networks for used and available IP addresses, shows ping times, resolves IPs in to host names, and allows individual IPs to be pinged.

llewxam Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yup - _WinAPI_GetLastError() "5" - "ACCESS_DENIED"..... but the same script works fine on mechanical drives.....Ian My projects: IP Scanner - Multi-threaded ping tool to scan your available networks for used and available IP addresses, shows ping times, resolves IPs in to host names, and allows individual IPs to be pinged.

jchd Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 This is most probably because your USB flash drive is not declaring itself as DASD devices (hard disk), just like many older USB flash drives. You should still be able to perform I/O on non-DASD devices (like tape drives, flash USB, and such) using the low-level IOCTL set of primitives. Your best friend here is MSDN. I remember that a flash drive maker offered a utility to switch to DASD any devices in his range but I honestly don't recall which one.

stormbreaker Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Greetings everyone, please refer to my post at the following link: I suggest that you could get the USB Drive Letter using DriveGetDrive("REMOVABLE") and then passing on the return to Disk wiping function. Hard-Disks and a Pen-Drive are totally different (they both need different drivers)Regards Edited March 28, 2012 by MKISH ---------------------------------------- :bye: Hey there, was I helpful? ---------------------------------------- My Current OS: Win8 PRO (64-bit); Current AutoIt Version: v3.3.8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
