Safely Eject a USB Drive

TheSaint · August 29, 2012

That's interesting, because I have one or two drives that regularly give trouble. Sometimes it appears to maybe be a memory issue, after sustained and heavy use (video stuff, etc).

If someone thinks the example isn't working, then it is. The issue is down to the Forum removing backslashes (again). Simply replace the following with ....

; "X:" -> for GetDriveType
    Local $szRootPath = $drive & ":\"
    ; "X:" -> for QueryDosDevice
    Local $szDevicePath = $drive & ":"
    ; ".X:" -> to open the volume
    Local $szVolumeAccessPath = "\\.\" & $drive & ":"

Sorry wraithdu, but I couldn't help but update the code though to use the new features of AutoIt. Great work by the way!

Hi there,
i want to eject the USB Drive my script is running from, i guess is will requirey to detect and close the handle of @ScriptFullPath.

however, for the beginning i will focus on the eject, wich deos not work on my win7 ent.:

If @error Then Exit
$drive = StringUpper(StringLeft($drive, 1))
If Not FileExists($drive & ":") Then
MsgBox(0 + 16, "Error", "Drive not found.")
Exit
EndIf

Global $driveInfo[9] = ["Device Number", "Drive Type", "DOS Device Name", "Device Path", "Device ID", "Device Instance", "Device Instance Parent", _
"Parent Device ID", "IsRemovable"]
Global $driveArray = _QueryDrive($drive)
For $i = 0 To UBound($driveArray) - 1
ConsoleWrite("-" & $driveInfo[$i] & ": " & $driveArray[$i] & @CRLF)
Next
ConsoleWrite("-Is USBHDD: " & _IsUSBHDD($driveArray) & @CRLF)

If (6 = MsgBox(4 + 32, "Eject?", "Eject this drive?")) Then ConsoleWrite("Ejecting drive <" & $drive & ":> - " & _QueryDrive($drive, True) & @CRLF)
If (6 = MsgBox(4 + 32, "Restart?", "Restart this drive?")) Then ConsoleWrite("Restarting drive <" & $drive & ":> - " & _RestartDrive($driveArray) & @CRLF)

any idea?

ResNullius · October 6, 2015

@guinness,

Your rewritten script no longer works with the current 3.3.14.2 or beta 3.3.15.0 AutoIt versions.

The latest version I can get it to work with is release 3.3.10.2 (I don't have all the betas since then, but the ones I do have don't work either).

I've tested on Win 7 Pro x86 and x64 versions on different physical machines..

If you run the script with both using your built in example, you will see that when you hit the _ArrayDisplay($hDriveEject) that some info is missing running with later versions of AutoIt.

Further debugging shows that 3.3.10.2 yields the following values in my testing:

$aQueryDrive[$DRIVE_EJECT_DEVICEINSTANCE] = USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_KINGSTON&PROD_DATATRAVELER_3.0&REV_PMAP\00147854488EBE51E75C40C2&0
$aQueryDrive[$DRIVE_EJECT_DEVICEINSTANCEPARENT] = 2472

and any AutoIt version after that that yields no values for those:

$aQueryDrive[$DRIVE_EJECT_DEVICEINSTANCE] =
$aQueryDrive[$DRIVE_EJECT_DEVICEINSTANCEPARENT] =

Looks like something failing with the DLL call

If $aQueryDrive[$DRIVE_EJECT_DEVICEID] > 0 Then
        $aReturn = DllCall('setupapi.dll', 'dword', 'CM_Get_Device_IDW', _
                'ptr', $aQueryDrive[$DRIVE_EJECT_DEVICEID], _
                'wstr', '', _
                'ulong', DllStructGetSize($tBuffer), _ ; Was once 1024.
                'ulong', 0)

but I can't figure it out.

Perhaps you can cast your expert eye over it, and confirm whether it is indeed a problem. I seem to recall it stopped working with the 3.3.11.0 beta, but couldn't find anything in the change logs that set would lead me to the solution.

Thanks

ResNullius · October 29, 2015

OK, found the problem: with versions of AutoIt after 3.3.10.2 you have to do an explicit DllOpen() for setupapi.dll before any of the subsequent DllCall() statements

Found the solution in a post by Biatu https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/77731-device-management-api/?do=findComment&comment=1186109 in another thread.

Hi,

I save the "$aQueryDrive" Array to a file when _Drive_Eject succeeds
And then exit the script

With a new command script I want to restart the drive
So I load the identical array from the saved file with the function _Drive_Restart($array)
but the drive wont restart

so I'm guessing that there are extra values that need to be saved and loaded when using this function

as When using both functions in 1 run everything runs as expected

Edit:

It seems that some of these DDK functions are possibly outdated and aren't recommended for use by newer ddk
functions For example: CM_Setup_DevNode
