S.M.A.R.T support in SCSI hard disk drive

Dear All,
Can anybody please tell me how to find whether a SCSI hard disk has S.M.A.R.T. support or not and also its S.M.A.R.T. features using M.F.C?
Thank You

The previous replies doesn't give any information about SCSI S.M.A.R.T features.
Thank You

I was referring to the second reply (by David), which was posted one day after the OP said Stuart's approach didn't help.

Have you tried DeviceIoControl(hDrive, SMART_GET_VERSION, ...)?

Yes I tried DeviceIoControl(hDrivee,SMART_GET_VERSION,...).But it is returning zero.

Hi,

I also actually try this, and it doesn't work, and DeviceIoControl doesn't work neither with CreateFile ("\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive%d",...), nor with CreateFile ("\\\\.\\Scsi%d:",...).

I have found an interesting source in internet Smile | :)

, see Guckst du hier[^] explaining a workaround for SMART with SCSI drives, but even after some needed code corrections (e.g. adding iobuff definitions, etc.), this doesn't worked for me (now I've got error 55 instead of 1117). If you have more luck, I would appreciate a answer from you Cool | :cool:

Which means you should then call GetLastError() to find out why.

I would guess ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION ...

It seems that SCSI doesn't support this method. But S.M.A.R.T. is supported by a different way, because tools like Crystal Disk Info are showing correct info.

Hi, Have you fixed that problem now?

It also bother me, I can't get SMART info in SCSI hard disk by SMART_GET_VERSION.

Could you pls tell me your method ?

Thank you !

Yes, I made a workaround. I do not need the SMART_GET_VERSION, it was only a test which version is supported. Since the function has failed, I stepped out the procedure.

In my workaround I do not bother if the command fails in try to read the SMART infos. This works on all my test systems Smile | :)

So you still have no solution of SMART IN SCSI HDD,right?

Sure. My aim was, to read the smart info on SCSI drives. This is working fine now. What doesn't work, is to read the SMART version numbor on SCSI. But that's a minor problem and is not really bothering.

Hello All,

I want to Create ISO9660 image file , So how to convert

normal file/folders to ISO9660 image file format. If any source code

will be greatly appriciated, matter urgent.

I simply want to add files and dirs and create the iso image from that.

there is no useful answer in Codeproject and other web sites....

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

InfraRecorder[^] is open source and it can create ISO files. If think that it uses cygwin to create binary for Windows, but am not sure. Just have a look at it.

ISO Master[^] is another such thing, but they provide source code that compiles only on Unix/Linux like operating systems.

Loading Resource from dll fails

I have created a win32 resource dll which has only string table, also i have included \NOENTRY in linker options in-order to make it as resource only dll

Now I am loading the dll in MFC application and loads fine but when I am try to get the string from the string table it doens't load. Here is my code:

     HINSTANCE hinsttance = ::LoadLibrary("SampleEN.dll");
DWORD dwError = GetLastError();

if (!hinsttance)
{
    AfxMessageBox("Failed to load");
}
else
{
    HINSTANCE hInstResourceClient = AfxGetResourceHandle();

    // Use DLL's instance handle
    AfxSetResourceHandle(hinsttance);

    LPCTSTR lpszName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(1); //IDC_STATIC_TOP has been defined as 1 in the dll
    HRSRC hrsrc = FindResource(m_hinstLib, lpszName, RT_STRING);

    if (hrsrc)
    {
        TCHAR szTemp[256];
        LoadString(m_hinstLib, IDC_STATIC_TOP, szTemp, 255);
    }

    AfxSetResourceHandle(hInstResourceClient);
}

what could be the problem???

What is m_hinstLib?
It should be hinsttance.

Then use the handle returned by FindResource in a call to LoadResource.
To access the actual resource call LockResource on the handle returned by LoadResource.

Actually it's - hinsttance, mistakenly written here as m_hinstLib

Where exactly does it fail?
Is it the FindResource that is failing or is it LoadString?

Try it without the AfxSetResourceHandle call.

Modified code according to your suggestion:

HINSTANCE hinstance = ::LoadLibrary("SampleEN.dll");

if (!hinstance)
{
    AfxMessageBox("Failed to load");
}
else
{
    HINSTANCE hInstResourceClient = AfxGetResourceHandle();

    // Use DLL's instance handle
    AfxSetResourceHandle(hinstance);

    LPCTSTR lpszName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(1); //IDC_STATIC_TOP has been defined as 1 in the dll
    HRSRC hrsrc = FindResource(hinstance, lpszName, RT_STRING);
    if (hrsrc)
    {
        HGLOBAL hglobal = LoadResource(hinstance, hrsrc);
        LockResource(hglobal);

        TCHAR szTemp[256];
        LoadString(hinstance, IDC_STATIC_TOP, szTemp, 255);
    }

    AfxSetResourceHandle(hInstResourceClient);
}

even now the string is empty. I get the error code: 1814 - which says resource couldn't be found. But I have re-verfied that the ID exists in the string table
