Recommended Posts

Does Any one tried this script ? It makes a Noise on My floopy drive ...

the script works ... and supposed to trigger just a usb flash drive .

$strComputer = "."
 $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

 $colEvents = $objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
    ("Select * From __InstanceOperationEvent Within 5 Where " _
        & "TargetInstance isa 'Win32_LogicalDisk'")

While 1
     $objEvent = $colEvents.NextEvent
    If $objEvent.TargetInstance.DriveType = 2 Then 
        Select 
            Case $objEvent.Path_.Class()="__InstanceCreationEvent"
            
                Consolewrite("Drive " & $objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId & "has been added." & @CR)
                MsgBox(16, "drive", $objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId)
                )


            Case $objEvent.Path_.Class()=""
                
                Consolewrite("Drive " & $objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId & "has been removed."& @CR)
                 MsgBox(16, "drive", $objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId  & " Removed " )
        EndSelect
    EndIf
WEnd

Is there a "help me" question in there?

i tested this script on five computers , and stills makes noise on the floopy drive .

my question is if any one experiencing the same and if there is a way to surpress

this problem ?

thanks ....

I might be waaay off but I'm guessing your trouble is $objEvent.TargetInstance.DriveType = 2 ... I'm guessing both the floppy drive and the USB drive are reported as removable or, 2. In fact using autoit's drivegettype on a usb drive and my floppy drive both return "removable". While not perfect can you get the drive letter and exclude them from your function if the letter is a: or b: for example?

I don't know how to accomplish this off the top of my head but hopefully this sheds some light on things....

Yes, the floopy drive is Recognized as Removable and belongs

to $objEvent.TargetInstance.DriveType = 2

There seems no way to pass by as autoit categorizes the floopy and Usb as same :

for ex .. the following code gives usb hubs and floopy as removable ...

$var = DriveGetDrive( "Removable " )
If NOT @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"", "Found " & $var[0] & " drives")
    For $i = 1 to $var[0]
        MsgBox(4096,"Drive " & $i, $var[$i])
    Next
EndIf

Still banging my head !

I'm not sure if this will work, but maybe adding a DriveGetFileSystem?

I don't have a floppy to test on I'm afraid....

$var = DriveGetDrive( "Removable " )
If NOT @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"", "Found " & $var[0] & " drives")
    For $i = 1 to $var[0]
        If Not DriveGetFileSystem ($var[$i]) = "FAT" Then MsgBox(4096,"Drive " & $i, $var[$i])
    Next
EndIf

EDIT: OR GET THE SIZE OF IT?

Don't have a 'floopy' drive to test on either, but the getsize is probably still going to make a sound since it must still access the 'floopy' I guess...

And I can't help it, but I find 'floopy' an incredibly funny word! :shocked: I need to keep that in my vocabulary...

Sorry for the not-so-useful post, just had to thank you for a beautiful word.

I guess I think the best method for weeding out the floppy drive would be to rely on drive letters... try this.

While 1
    Sleep(20)
    $var = DriveGetDrive( "REMOVABLE" )
    For $i = 1 to $var[0]
        If $var[$i] <> "a:" Then
        MsgBox(4096,"Drive " & $i, $var[$i])
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd

This isn't the best test because you'll get continuous msgboxes but it does the trick enough for you to get my point... when I run the script it does nothing until a removable drive is connected that isn't a:. It doesn't make any noise on my floppy drive either.

PS: I didn't read bert's post/code enough but its basically the same as mine (sorry bert didn't mean to kinda step on your toes). Just use whatever method works best for you I guess. I lean a little towards using what I suggested - I know there was a time when I had my USB drive formatted in FAT because I was trying to get it to work as a bootable device.

Let us know what you think.

edit: bert is spelled with a lower case b...

edit 2: ( I think its time for sleep...) Can't you just take the DriveGetWhatever out of the loop so it will only make noise once? Is that good enough?

Someone !

you wrote ...

" when I run the script it does nothing until a removable drive is connected that isn't a:. It doesn't make any noise on my floppy drive either "

are you refering to the first script or your own modified script .

I think the solution is :

before select to eValuate : the following conditions fulfilled

If $objEvent.TargetInstance.DriveType = 2

and

$objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId <> "a" then

If + and is not working in autoit .
