davies has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm trying to write something to check for falsely reported sizes on USB & similar drives. Opening them in Linux is trivial, even for someone who knows as little about Linux as I do. Thanks to Mr. Muskrat's post (Win32) Hard Drive Information and AnthonyC's thread Windows drive letter mapping question(++ to all), I have got a lot of useful code. Hard coding as much as possible, I was hoping that the snippet below would work. Sadly, I get a "Permission denied" error. I am logged in as administrator, so I was not expecting permissions to be a problem. Googling has got me nowhere. Can anyone point me to any helpful docs?
use strict; use warnings; open my $fh, "<", '\\\\MYCOMPUTER\\root\\cimv2:Win32_LogicalDisk.Devic +eID="G:"' or die $!;
Regards,
John Davies
