Hi,

You might want to check out Disk Arbitration.

#include <DiskArbitration/DiskArbitration.h>

void callback( DADiskRef disk, void * context )
{
    CFDictionaryRef description;

    description = DADiskCopyDescription( disk );

    if ( description )
    {
        CFShow( description );

        CFRelease( description );
    }
}

int main( )
{
    DASessionRef session;

    session = DASessionCreate( kCFAllocatorDefault );

if ( session ) { DASessionScheduleWithRunLoop( session, CFRunLoopGetCurrent ( ), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode );

DARegisterDiskAppearedCallback( session, kDADiskDescriptionMatchMediaWhole, callback, NULL );

        CFRunLoopRun( );

DASessionUnscheduleFromRunLoop( session, CFRunLoopGetCurrent ( ), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode );

        CFRelease( session );
    }

    return 0;
}

Hi all
I want to get the Hard disks and Removable media attached to my system and capacity of disks. Actually i want to raw read the hard disk. Currently i am picking the hard disks from "/dev/disk*" here * may be 1,2,3 depending upon the hard disks attached to system.

My problem is : 1) In case OS installed in any other language other than english then i am not able to pick the hard disks.
2) I am not able to get capacity of hard disks.
3) I am not able to differenciate whether this is removable media or hard disk.

How I can get hard disks attached,capacity,Serial no. of hard disks so that i can raw read the hard disk.
Thanks and Regards
