Determine the USB port for a Drive

Post by stevop123 »

Hi,

I'm a new user to IFW. Is there a way to determine which USB port a drive is attached to.
I understand that "imagew.exe /l" will list the HD number for all the drives, but is there
a way to know where the HD resides.

I am writing scripts to do certain restore activities. In one case I want to clone from
one usb source to another usb destination. So, is there a way to figure out what port
HD1 is connected to?

Thanks,

Stephen

If it's a .TBS script you could use GETHDINFO() to find out if the bus is USB. Won't tell you which port, though.

Is it possible to tag the drive or look for a file that would be different to find which is source/destination. You might also use the Name of the drive (assuming they're different).
