Chimaera Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Says this in the helpfile Returns Volume Label of a drive Now the volume label i would find if i use in a cmd window with this vol c: gives this E649-2540 which is completly different to the DriveGetLabel result what is the easiest way to do the vol c: within autoit or do i need to do some kind of cmd output to achieve the same result as vol c: mine will be @scriptdir i guess as im querying the vol label of a pendrive and if it matches then it allows the gui to run to restrict the software to a set of usb pendrives and hard drives only Any suggestions? If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen. Chimaera CopyRobo() * Hidden Admin Account Enabler * Software Location From Registry * Find Display Resolution * _ChangeServices()
Solution BrewManNH Posted April 23, 2015 Solution Posted April 23, 2015 You're confusing Volume Label (the name of the drive) with the Volume Serial Number. The E649-2540 is the serial number of the drive's volume, a made up number that's created when the drive is formatted. You need the DriveGetSerial if you're looking for the serial number ConsoleWrite(DriveGetLabel("C:") & @TAB & Hex(DriveGetSerial ( "c:" )) & @CRLF) Note the Hex function included in there.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Chimaera Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Hmm ok that works the problem im going to have is resolving it to a usb pendrive I have a list of about 10 drives 2 internal hard drives 7 usb drives and 1 network drive The hdrives and network have paths so i can c: etc How do i get at the serial of a usb when the file is on the usb? @scriptdir returns 00000000 @scriptdir works when the file is on the root but returns zero when its one level down in a folder This seems to work reduce the path no matter where it is ConsoleWrite( Hex(DriveGetSerial ( StringLeft(@ScriptDir,2) )) & @CRLF) or more likely for me Local $SerialTest = Hex(DriveGetSerial ( StringLeft(@ScriptDir,2) )) ConsoleWrite( $SerialTest & @CRLF) Edited April 23, 2015 by Chimaera If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.
