hi everybody,

AHK is really great.

need some help to make a eject-script for a mod-drive. the problem with mod-drives is, that a "normal" eject ignores current write-accesses and eject the mod.

the eject-button within the windows explorer denies ejecting a mod during a write-access. so i'm looking for a script that uses the eject-function of the windows explorer......

In another quirk, by default, Windows XP and Windows 2000 users can only format or eject disks if they have administrator privileges on a computer. There is a separate Fujitsu utility that can be installed that allows administrators to grant format and eject privileges to others. This utility, the Fujitsu MO Eject Tool, adds functionality for all users. It will automatically eject disks on shut down, as well as on restarts, hibernate, standby mode, and log off. Once the MO Eject Tool is loaded on a user's machine, it can be toggled on or off at the task tray.
Maybe here's another hurdle to take ...

As I guess the below checks the status of a media within a SCSI-Drive (drive_number 0-9), it could (???) work with an MOD as well !??????

TAPEUTIL 1.2
(C) 2004 by Bill Stewart (bill.stewart@frenchmortuary.com)

LICENSE AGREEMENT

This program is provided as copyrighted freeware. You are free to use it in any
environment without payment to the author.

DESCRIPTION

In investigating the Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 ntbackup program to perform
backups, I noticed that you can retension a tape from the ntbackup GUI, but
there is no command-line equivalent. Hence TAPEUTIL.EXE.

TAPEUTIL is a Win32 console (command-line or text-based) program that can:

* Detect if a tape is inserted
* Eject the currently inserted tape (if supported)
* Retension the tape (if supported)

SYNTAX

TAPEUTIL [-e | -r] [-q] drive_number

-e Eject the media from the drive.
-r Retension the media in the drive.
-q Run quietly (no output).
drive_number The number of the tape drive, numbered 0 through 9.

EXIT CODES

0 No error.
1 Incorrect function.
6 Unable to open the specified drive.
21 The device is not ready.
50 The request is not supported.
120 Requires Windows NT 4.0 or later.
1109 Unable to unload the media.
1110 The media in the drive may have changed.
1112 No media in drive.

For other errors, use NET HELPMSG followed by the error number (Windows 2000
and later only).

Here are some common causes for the errors:

1 The tape drive in this machine does not support retensioning.
6 Invalid drive number specified.
21 The drive is in an "eject" state but the media has not been removed.
1110 The drive is still loading newly inserted media.

VERSION HISTORY

1.2 (28 Apr 2004):

* Added -e (eject) option.
* Improved Win32 error handling.

1.1 (15 Apr 2004):

* Changed exit codes to match Win32 error codes, and implemented better error
handling.

1.0 (13 Apr 2004):

* Initial version.
