lod3n Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 AutoIt can see if a drive is one of these types: "Unknown", "Removable", "Fixed", "Network", "CDROM", "RAMDisk" Try this: $mydrive = stringleft(@scriptdir,stringinstr(@scriptdir,"\")) $var = DriveGetType( $mydrive) MsgBox(4096, $mydrive &" Drive Type:", $var) If you get "Unknown" or "", perhaps it is a virtual CD, but most virtual CD emulators will say that they are "CDROM". Give it a shot, and report back if it works or not.

/dev/null Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Is there a way to know if my program is running from virtual or real CD drive?Thank you Most certainly NO. All of the virtual CD drive software I know of simulate some kind of SCSI CDROM drive. So, you cannot say if it's real or virtual without really deep knowledge about the emulation software.But, why do you want to know the difference?

DriveGetType() has no work hereBut, why do you want to know the difference?Because I don't want my program to run from an emulator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
