freanir Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) Yes AutoIT can be used to format an removeable Drive, but you have to use a DOS Command. ;example #include <process.au3> $sDrive = FileSelectFolder("Choose a Drive.", "", 2); Select a Drive _RunDOS("format " & $sDrive & "/X");Formats the Drive with NTFS and cancels every allocation ;of the Volume MsgBox(0, "Finished", $sDrive & "is formatted") This Script is usable, although you may want to add Control and Error routines. Just check the Helpfile. For further Information on "format" type in the cmd.exe Window format /? Edited March 4, 2006 by freanir freanir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeLondon Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 can autoIT format a removable drive?bit sloppy, as the script has no idea what the dos format command has done.it says complete if you select a dvd drive straight away,obviously nothing has been formatted.better somehow to launch the windows format control.not sure how to go about that thocall a dll?

freanir Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) bit sloppy, as the script has no idea what the dos format command has done.The script works for me. I won't do everything for you, except you're willing to pay me. BTW: I answered your question it is posible to format per AutoIt, the script is just a bonus. So you've got to excuse the "sloppiness".it says complete if you select a dvd drive straight away,obviously nothing has been formatted.Can't test it, because I've got no (re)writeable Medium, except a HDD.better somehow to launch the windows format control.Imho the control is just a frontend for the Dos-Command.
