View 1 RepliesThe drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

View 7 RepliesI have an application and in this application there is a search option. I want the seach to search for all music and video files. I keep getting UnauthorizedAccessException error and I'm assuming its because my application is trying to access a file for witch access is being denied. This is the code that I am using.tbsearch is textbox and results is the listbox that the search results get added to.
Dim dirPath As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("G:")
For Each file As FileInfo In dirPath.GetFiles
(tbsearch.Text & "*.mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
results.Items.Add(file.FullName)
Next
Also, how can't I make it so that only the name of the file found is added, not the full path. I know that I could instead of using file.FullName use file.Name but then I can play the media file because the application wont know where to find it. Any code that I could use to add only the found file name to the listox? Perhaps I need another hidden listbox that get the full name and then the results listbox retrieves only the last part of the path?

This shows all files and folder names on the disc. If I want it to show all files, regardless of the folder they're in, is there a built-in method to do that or do I need to take an entry, identify it as a directory and then use that as my source to read the files in it?
Anyone know how i can get the harddrive id?

I'm trying to make a small app that reads MFT from a NTFS drive and lists deleted files and their names. The code is not ordered since its not finished yet. I made it basing on information a read at ntfs.com and some other examples found on the net. But the problem itself is the following. I have hard disk with to NTFS partitions, the main one having 250 GB and the second one having 1,5 GB. If I execute my code on the smaller drive, (using D as parameter for readfile api), I get the list of all deleted files exactly (I checked it with a recovery file app).
The problem is when I execute it on the other drive (C where Windows is installed, 7 if it matters), the problem is that I cant find any deleted file!!. The code gets all the files from MFT and then saves in a string variable only the deleted ones, I found that after deleting one file, it also disappears from the MFT (at least using my code). So, there may be some other way in which NTFS marks deleted files? As you see in my code, I iterate through the MFT entries and, from those that start with FILE, I take bytes 22 and 23 (0 base) and evaluate, if its value is 0 then its deleted, otherwise, it isn't (its a file or directory I think).
