Message box with message "there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A:"

Hi All,

I am developing a file system filter driver on windows 2000, and am tryin to
open A: device as below

ntStatus = ZwCreateFile( &Handle, SYNCHRONIZE|FILE_ANY_ACCESS,
&objectAttributes, &ioStatus, NULL, 0,
FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
FILE_OPEN,
FILE_SYNCHRONOUS_IO_NONALERT|FILE_DIRECTORY_FILE,
NULL, 0 );

When I use this code I get message box with message “There is no disk in the
drive.Please insert a disk into drive A:”. Why is this message coming?
How to stop this message box from being displayed?

Any information is helpful.

Thanks,
Kedar.

You don’t show us the object attributes structure you are using - are
you trying to open the root directory? If so, that is going to trigger
the hard error popup. If you want to see if there is media in the
drive, you need to open the volume, not the root directory.

Regards,

Tony

Hi Tony Manson,

Here is the object attributes structure I am using.

WCHAR name = L"\DosDevices\A:\";

RtlInitUnicodeString( &fileNameUnicodeString, name );

InitializeObjectAttributes( &objectAttributes, &NameUnicodeString,

OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE, NULL, NULL );

ntStatus = ZwCreateFile( &Handle, SYNCHRONIZE|FILE_ANY_ACCESS,

&objectAttributes, &ioStatus, NULL, 0,

FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,

FILE_OPEN,

FILE_SYNCHRONOUS_IO_NONALERT|FILE_DIRECTORY_FILE,

NULL, 0 );

Thanks,

Kedar.

Hi Tony Manson,

If I want to filter the file system that mounted for the floppy then I
should open the root directory of the disk.
Am I right? how to avoid that pop up from being displayed?

Thanks,
Kedar.

No, open the volume. That way you can avoid the hard error popup.

Try removing the trailing slash in the name you are using; that should
get rid of the hard error popup that you are seeing.
