Question
How can you shutdown a harddrive ? i want to do this to be able to safely remove my sata drive even though it's hotplug. WMI does't seems to have the method.
No correct solution
OTHER TIPS
Using WMI, you can get the 'eject drive' dialog to pop up using:
Shell "Rundll32.exe Shell32.dll Control_RunDLLA hotplug.dll", vbNormalFocus
Alternatively, if you want to programatically eject a device, you need this MSDN article. This should work with sata drives, if you can eject them manually then you'll be able to 'eject' them programatically.
