I want to get the hardwired serial number from the hard disk but NOT using WMI. I tried using WMI code, and it doesn't work on my machine for sure. So is there any alternative in .NET for finding the Serial Number of a physical hard disk? ...
Hey, I want to retrieve the list of fixed disks in a system. But C#s GetDrives Fixed Drives are including plug USB Harddisks. Any idea how I may detect that a fixed Drive is not an USB harddisk or vica versa? Ciao Ephraim ...
Hi! I need to write a ByteArray to a file on local disk with Flash AS3. The flashapplication is run locally (it's a projector exe). I found the FileReference class with the save() function which works perfect. The only problem is, that this function opens a filebrowser and let's the user select where to store the file. However - i have...
From what I have seen there is a pretty good support for dynamic power management in the both Windows and Linux when it comes to the CPU (scaling frequency so as to reduce energy consumption). Is there similar support for managing the Hard Disk Drive and the RAM (spinning down the HDD, lowering RAM frequency or anything that might result...
I'm trying to write a bootstrap loader for the fun of it, i've been using guides such as: http://www.omninerd.com/articles/PC%5FBootstrap%5FLoader%5FProgramming%5FTutorial%5Fin%5FASM http://hem.passagen.se/danma/nboot.htm http://en.skelix.org/skelixos/tutorial01.php I'm able to successfully copy over sectors from a floppy disk but wh...
Hi, I'm processing data from a harddisk from one large file (processing is fast and not a lot of overhead) and then have to write the results back (hundreds of thousands of files). I started writing the results straight away in files, one at a time, which was the slowest option. I figured it gets a lot faster if I build a vector of a c...
I dropped my laptop while Windows was preparing to hibernate and as a result, I got a head crash on the hard drive. (Teaches me to get a hard drive and/or laptop with a freefall sensor next time around.) Anyway, running SpinRite to try to recover the data has resulted in all the spare sectors on the disk to all be all used up for all the...

I want to use the internal Hard disk of one computer to act as an external harddisk for another computer. Is there are direct way or tool available to achieve this. I know I can share the drive and access it over network but I want to use it without network, using USB. ...
I am currently using Diskpart to accomplish these functions, but i would like to be able to use P-Invoke and not have to shell out to an external process in my C# app. The example Diskpart scripts are: //Online a disk Select disk 7 disk online // Reset GPT Identifier select disk 7 UNIQUEID DISK ID=baf784e7-6bbd-4cfb-aaac-e86c96e166ee...

Hello all, this is my first post here. I want to access the whole hard disk directly from a C program. There's no FS on it and never's gonna be one. I just want to open /dev/sda (for example) and do I/O at the block/sector level of the disk. I'm planning to write some programs for learning C programming in the Linux environment (...
I need a muti index container based on red-black trees (something like boost::multi_index::multi_index_container) for the case of the harddisk storage. All data must be store on hard disk rather than in memory. Is there an open source container such that described conditions hold? Note. I use C++. ...
Or rather how does remote RAM compare against local Disk access? If the answer is "it depends", what are the conditions? Data access patterns, ratio of read-to-writes, distance etc. Finally, what if the local disks are NetApp filers? Thanks. ...
A computer, which the hard drive is configured as raid(not sure about the raid number or master or slave), has a corrupt file called stpd.sys which doesn't let me start up windows in normal mode or safe mode. I googled for solutions and the only thing I could do is to rename stpd.sys and see if the windows boot up that way. How do I ac...
I have a read only database (product) that recides on its own Sql Server 2008. I already optimized queries by looking at most expensive queries in activity monitor - report. I ordered the report by CPU-cost. I now have something like 50 queries/second and no query is longer than 300ms. CPU-Time is ok (30%) and Memory is only used by 20...
