Solve : Fsutil? |
|
Answer» Is there a downloadable version of Fsutil which reports a DVD-RW as such rather than as a CD-ROM which mine does?What do you mean by "downloadable version"? Thanks Broni. I'm using XP Pro and the command fsutil fsinfo drivetype returns the dvd-rw as a CD-ROM. I wondered if there is a newer downloadable version which will return the dvd-rw as a DVD-RW instead of a CD-ROM. I believe not. In XP and Windows 7 fsutil reports my DVD-RW as a "CD-ROM". I IMAGINE it just TESTS for and reports the lowest common denominator of all optical drives. In both OSs in My COMPUTER, Windows Explorer reports "DVD-RW drive". Same here on Vista.fsutil fsinfo drivetype most likely uses the GetDriveType API function. This means that all Optical drives will be REPORTED as "CD-ROM", since there is no enumeration for any other type of optical drive.As I suspected, thanks guys. WMI... Code: [Select]trComputer = "."
