Distinguish USB thumb drives from other "Removable" drives?

rudi · November 28, 2008

Hi.

I'm just coding for someone a tool, that will search for thumb drives. I know, that Thumb Drives are of drive type = "Removable". Is there a more safe way to recognize "this is a thumb drive"?

Maybe there is again some WMI stuff that would offer more detailed information? (no clue)

Floppies also show up as removable. The USB external HDDs I've connected just right now show up as "Fixed": I would have expected, that these are "Removable" as well?

Regards, Rudi.

Hi there,

Search for Scriptomatic

and see Win32_DiskDrive

I'm sure something here would help with some of your questions:

Hi.

Search for Scriptomatic
and see Win32_DiskDrive

You're frustrating me

scriptomatic shows me, that I know close to nothing about WMI

Joking aside:

The thumb drive I want to catch is in the output that one:

I cannot see at all, how I should link that information to the drive letter showing up in Windows:

DriveLetter: B:

DriveType: Removable

DriveLabel:TREKSTOR

DriveSerial:2461668151

Thanks, Rudi.

Edit: Scriptomatic has a big disadvantage: on the right side, the radio button for : "Language: Autoit v3 ( )" is missing o:)

Edit2: The main loop of Win32_DiskDrive is starting like this:

For Each objItem In colItems

How can I have a look INTO the structure of "ObjItem", maybe the drive letter and serial are included with this object and the code you pointed me to just doesn't display that content with the echos defined?

WScript.Echo "<Item>: " & objItem.<item>

Hi again

Got it

Use Win32_Volume o:)

This link to see how you can case in your script the DriveType

going a little futher, the following example only scans DriveType 2 that is the code for removable disks. After that you can delete $output 's that are not necessary

Use Win32_Volume

Ah. That one isn't offered within Scriptomatic.

But with this one here, you pointed me to

#cs

  uint16 Availability;
  uint64 BlockSize;
  string Caption;

... I propalbly can work it out

I hope that now i really helped

I think (hope...) so

Thanks, Rudi.

[Edit]

I had to fail. Well, at least I had some excercises :mad:

Win32_Volume Class

The Win32_Volume class represents an area of storage on a hard disk. The class returns local volumes that are formatted, unformatted, mounted, or offline. A volume is formatted by using a file system, such as FAT or NTFS, and might have a drive letter assigned to it. One hard disk can have multiple volumes, and volumes can span multiple physical disks. The Win32_Volume class does not support disk drive management.

Windows XP and earlier:  This class is not available.

Any furter Ideas for the WMI blind person?

Regards, Rudi.

Hi again, unfortunately I fail:

Well, it doesn't return any information from the ObjItem. Doesn't matter, whether I run it as VBS or copy/paste it over to scriptomatc. I cannot find, why. o:)

Anyways, I learned something about WMI. And hopefully, with some further help from YOU I'll finally make it to do what I want.

Witch O.S. are you running? Win XP?

As far as i understand Win32_Volume Class it´s a Win Vista class.

Your script is a script that outputs the name of all removable disks in a computer right?

If disk f: = removable then

output f:

If disk g= fixed

no output

... and so on

The only issue here is that you don't want to mix removable (pen drives) with other removables (floppys) right?

Hi.

My OS is XP, right.

[snip]
The only issue here is that you don't want to mix removable (pen drives) with other removables (floppys) right?

Exactly!

And I'd like to know, whether externally connected USB HDDs are *ALWAYS* listed as "fixed", or if (certain conditions) they might show up as removable as well: As they *ARE* removable, aren't they?

So will a 'DriveGetDrive("removable")' recognize *ONLY* floppies and thumbdrives? Then I could be happy with a 2nd step size check: If it's above 2.88MB, it's a thumb drive.

What about ZIP drives and similar stuff?

To check through this mighty WMI example page you pointed me to I wrote this one:

#include <array.au3>

$Dir = "C:\MyWmiFirstSteps"
$InputFile=$dir & "\input.txt"
If Not FileExists($InputFile) Then InfoBox()

Bump.

Pls. let me ask once more about the media type "removable":

- How to distinguish USB thumb drives from Floppy / ZIP and similar types?

- are HDDs connected to external USB ports *ALWAYS* listed as "fixed"? I've tried several HDDs connected that way, up to now all of them were listed as drive type = fixed, even though they *ARE* removable - aren't they?

Maybe some WMI stuff could help me to work that out. Win32_Volume Class it´s a Win Vista class, so that one doesn't help me...

Any suggestions appreciated, especally pointing towards documentation I could go through.

TIA.

Regards, Rudi.

ken82m · December 1, 2008

As far as I know this comes down to the actual usb interface on the device.

Some of them register as removable some fixed, just depends on what identifier is programmed into.

It looks like some of the code above let you pull the parameters for the device.

Try doing a using StringInStr() on the PNPDeviceID (sometimes called just plain deviceID) to find "USB"

That's basically the path to the device as I understand it. So no matter what the device class the device should contain USB.

I'll try a few of my usb gadgets later, if I can find one that shows up as a fixed disk I'll verify that.

You might want to download "devcon" from microsoft. It might be useful for troubleshooting.

It can pull the device info for you too.

Hi all.

Thanks for your help!

Slowly I get familiar with WMI

After checking several USB HDDs and USB Tumb Drives it looks like that "InterfaceType" and "MediaType" are sufficent, to distinguish USB thumb drives / USB HDDs / vs. IDE+SATA HDDs. So far I had no chance to check how eSATA drives are classified.

Const $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10
Const $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\CIMV2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive", "WQL", _
        $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)

For $objItem In $colItems
    ConsoleWrite(" ----- next Device -----------" & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("InterfaceType: " & $objItem.InterfaceType & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("MediaType: " & $objItem.MediaType & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Caption: " & $objItem.Caption & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("MediaLoaded: " & $objItem.MediaLoaded & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Model: " & $objItem.Model & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Name: " & $objItem.Name & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("NeedsCleaning: " & $objItem.NeedsCleaning & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("NumberOfMediaSupported: " & $objItem.NumberOfMediaSupported & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Partitions: " & $objItem.Partitions & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("PNPDeviceID: " & $objItem.PNPDeviceID & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("SectorsPerTrack: " & $objItem.SectorsPerTrack & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Signature: " & $objItem.Signature & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Size: " & $objItem.Size & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Status: " & $objItem.Status & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("StatusInfo: " & $objItem.StatusInfo & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("SystemCreationClassName: " & $objItem.SystemCreationClassName & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("SystemName: " & $objItem.SystemName & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("TotalCylinders: " & $objItem.TotalCylinders & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("TotalHeads: " & $objItem.TotalHeads & @CRLF)
