DriveGetDrive('REMOVABLE') - (Solution)

[Yashied]

How to identify a removable drive interface - USB or FireWire?

Thanks.

$Drive = DriveGetDrive('REMOVABLE')
if IsArray($Drive) then
    for $i = 1 to $Drive[0]
        if ??? then
            ConsoleWrite($Drive[$i] & ' - USB')
        else
            ConsoleWrite($Drive[$i] & ' - FireWire')
        endif
    next
endif

I dont know if this could be of any use but ill throw it in anyway.

It was created by another member on this forum however I can not remember his name but all credit goes to him.

$DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL = "0x00008000"
$WM_DEVICECHANGE = 0x0219
$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)
                     ;A Usb drive has been plugged in
              Case $objEvent.Path_.Class()="__InstanceDeletionEvent"
                     ConsoleWrite("Drive " & $objEvent.TargetInstance.DeviceId & "has been removed."& @CR)
                     ;A usb drive has been removed
         EndSelect
     EndIf

Thanks, but this is not related to my question.

I found the solution.
