Re: How to get SD card/IPSM name ??

Your code would fail on our devices in two different ways: 1. Some devices
mount PSM as the root of the filesystem, so you'd have to check "\", 2. The
other devices don't use PSM in the name of the filesystem folder (because
our users don't care what "PSM" is).

Hi Robert,
Acctually I was using the same way to detect SD card and I got the success
too .. :) This is a tricy way to find out SD cards ...... this formula may
fail some where ....I dont know where ....
So I was looking for some solid way to detect SD card and getting its name
...
Same way I am find the name of IPSM .. I am looking for any directry whish
hase TEMPORARY attribute .... And then filtering with the name of Flash
File
Store, PSM, or any string containing FFS ... So here are chances too that
my
code may fail on some specific hand held device which have IPSM with
another
name ....

Thanks for the reply :)

- Rahul

Hi,
In my application I have to detect programmatically SD card (if
inserted)
and IPSM (if available in the device). I am using FindFirstStore,
GetStoreInfo, FindNextStore APIs but not getting the names of SD card
and
IPSM.
Is there any other way to detect and get the name of inserted SD card
and
IPSM ???

I use FindFirstFile and relatives to look for the name of the root
folder, but that can vary. So I check for names that begin with
"IPSM", "Storage_", "Storage", "CF Card", "SD Card", and "Memory
Card". I don't check the whole string because the name can accumulate
a number (e.g., CF Card 2) if one card replaces another, or even if
one card is removed and reinserted.

For at least some, newer, platforms, FindFirstFlashCard will find
storage cards, but I don't use it. And I wonder whether it will find
IPSM.




Thanks a lot .
