Chimaera Posted April 23, 2015 Share 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.

Solution BrewManNH Posted April 23, 2015 Solution Share 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 Share 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.
