Mass Storage Device

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I want to detect a mass storage device connected to my Windows NT
machine. I could detect and get information of ATA disks by using
DFP_GET_VERSION and DeviceIOControl. But how can I get information
about non-ATA disks connected externally using USB or PCMCIA cables?

Thanking in anticipation,
Deepali

IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA can help.

IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA and IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY can not work
for some of 1394 external storage devices, if you can send SCSI_PASS_THROUGH
, when above two fails, try SPTI perhelps be helpful.
Even the first two IOCTL failed, using SPTI from application still work, i
don’t know why.

Thanks Max. But the device is not connected to SCSI drive so this is
not giving me desired results.
