ZwOpenFile and hard disks

I had code to access the serial number of a hard drive. I was running this in user mode, getting a handle to the drive as follows:

HANDLE hDrive ;
wchar_t driveName[128];

for(int i = 0; i < 16; ++i)
{
  wsprintf(driveName, L"\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive%d", drive);
  hDrive = CreateFile(driveName, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE , NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
  ...
}

I'm now trying to do the same thing in a driver. However I'm not sure how to open the actual drive. Currently the code I have is:

HANDLE hDrive;
WCHAR sDriveName[128];
OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES oa;
UNICODE_STRING usDriveName;
IO_STATUS_BLOCK iosb;
NTSTATUS Status = STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL;
int drive;

for(drive = 0; drive < MAX_IDE_DRIVES; drive++)
{	
  _snwprintf(sDriveName, 128, L"\\Device\\Harddisk%lu", drive);
  RtlInitUnicodeString(&usDriveName, sDriveName);

  InitializeObjectAttributes(&oa, &usDriveName, OBJ_INHERIT, NULL, NULL);

 if(NT_SUCCESS(ZwOpenFile(&hDrive, FILE_ALL_ACCESS, &oa, &iosb, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, FILE_DIRECTORY_FILE)))
  {
    ...
  }
}

However the call to ZwOpenFile is failing with iosb.Status == 3.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here??
Thanks.

Does that equal STATUS_WAIT_3?

The return value from the call to ZwOpenFile is STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND, so I guess the issue is I have the name wrong. More investigation needed on my part.

Is the button visible for you. normally when you change the value in the .rc file the position of the control will change.

Why don't you use the resource editor for the purpose?

Why do you need to modify the .rc file?
Why not use the dialog editor to move the control?

GetVolumeInformation[^] returns the disk's volume name, which could well be what you want.

Thank you for the solution.

but This returns only the volume information.
it teturns the name of the volume not a friendly name of the device.

i checked with the above WINAPI function it just returns the volume name

for example: the device inserted is "Trances 4GB Removable..." but it shows the volume name "Jack"

if i am wrong sorry and i hope when we insert the removable device it mounds with the device partition. that is the reason While we use WM_DEVICE_CHANGE enables to track the device and even to get the friendly name using GUID

But i am very scared how to get the friendly name of the removable drive using the drive name.
i am trying...

thanks...

Bet you can get that using WMI.

I use WMI Explorer[^] to explore what information there is in the WMI database for my system. I just plugged in my flash drive, and it seems to have a 'friendly name' in the Caption property of its Win32_DiskDrive instance.

This VBScript (you can run it from the command-line with cscript filename.vbs) can be used to retrieve that - the C++ equivalent is straightforward, but long-winded.

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set drives = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * FROM Win32_DiskDrive")
For Each drive in drives
 WScript.StdOut.WriteLine drive.caption
Next

Thanks a lot !

My actual requirement towards this issue is this:

I am logging the file activities in Win32 DLL with the following details Create/Copy/Delete/Move details in the USB Drive - done
Along with Removable Drive Friendly Name – doing

I am not much familiar with system side Activities.
I hope we can use the WMI in Win32 dll applications . I will try it out.
And If u have any idea on this help me out.

Thank you.

Yes, you can - it's just a set of COM interfaces and objects, so is callable from C++.

You need a recursive function to find the files within sub-folders.
Check if the dwFileAttributes is FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY and if it is, pass its name as the root folder and call the same function from within.

The function signature would be something like this.
int RecursiveFind(TCHAR* lpFileName, TCHAR* lpRootFolder);

FILE_ATTRIBUE_DIRECTORY is there but i m not getting,
Here is the scenario:

char defaultPath[256]="C:\\Program Files\\sample\\";
char filename[256]="abc.max";

WIN32_FIND_DATA FindData;
HANDLE hFind;
hFind = FindFirstFile( filename, &FindData );

m i using like this.But i m not getting.

With MFC, use something like this:

void EnumFilesRecursive()
{
  CFileFind ff;
  BOOL bWorking = ff.FindFile("d:\\*.*");

  while (bWorking == TRUE)
  {
    bWorking = ff.FindNextFile();
    if (ff.IsDirectory())
    {
      if (ff.IsDots())
        continue;
      
      EnumFilesRecursive(ff.GetFilePath());
    }
    else
    {
      //call "ff.GetFilePath()" to get the file names
    }
  }

  return;
}
