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
