Hi all,
I want to get hard drive manufacturer name and slot information whether it is primary master-slave or secondary master-slave using VC++.
I am trying to get these details by using win32_diskdrive class(WMI classes). As there is one property of this class ie "manufacturer" that give the name of hard drive manufacturer. But when I execute my program it gives standard disk drive instead of giving seagate.
Is there any setting that i am missing? Is there any header file that i need to include?
I am using windows XP Professional and visual studio 2005.
Please provide me some guideline.
Thanks in advance.

hi, Thanks for quick reply. The link that you gave me is to get hard drive "model" and is in C#. I want am using VC++. I said earlier that I got all the info about my drive by using win32_diskdrive class but instead of getting drive manufacturer name i am getting "system disk drive".
Please reply me any solution.

The link is pretty informative IMO...WMI is language independent, so the fact that
it's C# isn't relevant. The key points I would take from that article are the WMI classes
used. It isn't always easy to find the class that has the info you want.
Also, you won't always find the info you're looking for - this will depend on what the
driver supplies to the system.

-- Hi there thanks for reply. Dear friend I have the code in VC++ that use WMI classes.I got the idea that how to use them.

-- I know the class from which I need the info. Win32_diskdrive provide all the details of hard drive.

--Yes very good point you gave me thanks. After some googling I got that there is one file Sms_def.mof in server 2003 (follow this link please http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886088) in that file there is a caption property and we have to change this property for getting the manufacturer name of HDD. BUT this file is not found in winXP and in vista.
I think there may be this type of setting in XP and in vista that we have to change.
Waiting for reply

And how do you know that "seagate" is supposed to be returned from that class?

If there was a header file that you needed to include, it wouldn't have even shown you anything except for errors.

-- Because I know that I am using "Seagate" disk drive. Well whatever it is this class that I am using should return the name of manufacturer like Seagate, Samsung, western digital etc not "standard disk drives".
I made the complete code in VC++ that use WMI classes, and in MSDN it is written that win32_diskdrive class return the manufacturer name of disk drive. I am easily getting other details of disk drive like model, size, interface type bu using the same class.
Now after some googling I got that there is one file Sms_def.mof in server 2003 (follow this link please http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886088) in that file there is a caption property and we have to change this property for getting the manufacturer name of HDD. BUT this file is not found in winXP and in vista.

Thanks

This is just an assumption. The mfg can put whatever they want in those classes. The name of the field is just a recommendation.

And rightly so, since those OSs are unlikely to be running SMS. There are tons of other .mof files, though.

Hi savitri,
When ur able to send AT and receive OK then in the same way u can use other cmds.
Whenever u need to send the msg,
Send it like:
1.send "AT+cmgs="mobileno"\n";[mobile no must be a string]
2.Then u receive '>' charcter as an acknoledgement.
3.Then send the msg u want to "msg".
4.After ur msg sending completed send "Escape" character[I didnt remember the ascii value].
If still any doubt just give an reply.
Regards,
Sunil.
