Re: [Freedos-user] Detect ramdrives Fwd: [basic-es] Hola, una pregunta
This is a question originally sent on a spanish list about BASIC, but is more a DOS question, so I translate here... Writing a DOS app on qbasic or quickbasic to check the disk units on the PC (floppy, HD, CD...) Can check to first CD unit, later if exist a ramdisk how to check if the unit is a real disk or a ram virtual disk? i use FINDRAMD.EXE from this site: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/hs_freeware/freew.html source code included. It's rather unreliable because it only checks whether there's just one FAT on the drive. However, that _is_ the most reliable method of detecting a RAM disk because there's nothing else different RAM disks have in common. Expect that some non-RAM disks might also be detected this way. Obtaining the drive letter from the RAM disk's driver or asking the user is the only certain way.
