I want scan all available drive letter that exist on my computer, and get detail with it (chk if occupied, chk for type and size).
I have no problem about how to get size by using the codes bellow
var
FreeAvail, totalSpace: Int64;
begin
if SysUtils.GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(PChar('F:\'), FreeAvail, totalSpace, nil) = True
then
begin
F1.Liner('Drive F total space ');
F1.pBold(IntToStr(totalSpace div (1024 * 1024 * 1024)) + ' GB ,');
F1.Liner(' available free space ');
F1.pBold(IntToStr(FreeAvail div (1024 * 1024 * 1024)) + ' GB.');
end;
end;
But if the drive is unoccupied, i don't like this situation.
Question: How to get available ALL drive(s) - CDROM, USB Stick, etc. To be more specific, i want the display result like this example;
Drive E [Local Disk] - TotalSpace 500 GB - FreeSpace 200 GB
Drive F [CD Drive] - Unoccupied - FreeSpace 0
Drive G [Removable] - TotalSpace 8 GB - FreeSpace 2 GB
I've provided a couple of functions that might help. The first uses the Win32 API function GetLogicalDriveStrings to retrieve a list of the assigned drive letters on the computer. The second queries a drive to see if it's ready for use (has a disk in it). (There's also a utility function that converts a drive letter to the integer value needed for DiskSize
, the old Pascal I/O function.)
The code has worked since Win95 days, and was just tested on Win7 64-bit in a Delphi 2007 console application. There's a console test application included below.
program Project2;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
SysUtils, Windows, Types;
// Returns an array filled wit the assigned
// drive letters on the current computer.
function GetDriveList: TStringDynArray;
var
Buff: array[0..128] of Char;
ptr: PChar;
Idx: Integer;
begin
if (GetLogicalDriveStrings(Length(Buff), Buff) = 0) then
RaiseLastOSError;
// There can't be more than 26 lettered drives (A..Z).
SetLength(Result, 26);
Idx := 0;
ptr := @Buff;
while StrLen(ptr) > 0 do
begin
Result[Idx] := ptr;
ptr := StrEnd(ptr);
Inc(ptr);
Inc(Idx);
end;
SetLength(Result, Idx);
end;
// Converts a drive letter into the integer drive #
// required by DiskSize().
function DOSDrive( const sDrive: String ): Integer;
begin
if (Length(sDrive) < 1) then
Result := -1
else
Result := (Ord(UpCase(sDrive[1])) - 64);
end;
// Tests the status of a drive to see if it's ready
// to access.
function DriveReady(const sDrive: String): Boolean;
var
ErrMode: Word;
begin
ErrMode := SetErrorMode(0);
SetErrorMode(ErrMode or SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS);
try
Result := (DiskSize(DOSDrive(sDrive)) > -1);
finally
SetErrorMode(ErrMode);
end;
end;
// Demonstrates using the above functions.
var
DrivesArray: TStringDynArray;
Drive: string;
const
StatusStr = 'Drive %s is ready: %s';
begin
DrivesArray := GetDriveList;
for Drive in DrivesArray do
WriteLn(Format(StatusStr, [Drive, BoolToStr(DriveReady(Drive), True)]));
ReadLn;
end.
Sample output when run on my system (Win7 64, two physical hard drives (C: and D:), an ISO device with no image mounted (E:), and a DVD drive (Z:).
Drive C:\ is ready: True
Drive D:\ is ready: True
Drive E:\ is ready: False
Drive Z:\ is ready: True
