DMS Utils problem....

[VorTechS]

I'm going to take the leap of faith and apply the new patch to my Keg - and at the same time investigate how much I can embed into PhatHack Media Manager.

I have possibly run into my first problem, but I'm not sure, running BackUPDMS.bat
Obviously I did not have the DMS connected, then connected it.

Error: multiple or no new drives detected.  Restarting Script.
Use CTRL-C to abort

This script will make a backup of your DMS and collect some
information about the config of that DMS that we'll use later.


If you are sure you are ready to run this, please press enter
otherwise use CTRL-C to abort.
Looking through the script files, I noticed that I have:

The disk management services could not complete the operation.
..in diskpart.nodms

Dispart.dms contains:

  Disk ###  Status      Size     Free     Dyn  Gpt

  Disk 0    Online       233 GB      0 B         
  Disk 1    Online        19 GB      0 B         

Disk 1 is the DMS.

HELP!

well for some reason you didn't get a list with just disk 0 like the list in the second file.  thats how the script figures out which disk to use as the DMS.  Something is wrong with your PC and diskpart output.. I'd suggest rebooting, don't run any phatnoise software (kill the agent etc) disable virus scanning and try running the script again.

also see if you can hit me up on messenger when you try it again and i'll see if we can figure out why your box isn't able to generate the output the first try.  we may need to write some code to detect that message and try again or throw a useful error to the user.

Thanks jud, I'll hit you up later.

I knew you were gunna say something along those lines - but, I tried out the commands manually thusly:

echo list disk | diskpart
echo rescan
echo list disk | diskpart

with no problems, one at a time.  My take on this might be that for some reason the script had moved to the second 'list disk' while the rescan was taking place.

I was playing around a bit more with this earlier... and found out that getting the drive detail for some reason doesn't like working within a batch.

It may only affect a few people, but it's inspired me to get my ass into gear and get a windows app. to do the work.

And it's almost there.....
