Hi there.

I know how to shut down the whole computer or only the display by programming.
But, how to shut down a hard disc by code?

Thanks.

Hi Javier,

what do you mean by writing "Shutdown" a
Hard Disk? Do you mean enabling/disabling
it, or ejecting it, etc,...from kernel or usermode,
setting Powerstates for the device, there is a "little"
difference on that and different approaches in
both modes.

Regards

Kerem

You seem to have an unusual requirement.
Can I ask why do you want this?

You can take a gander here: http://www.osronline.com/ShowThread.cfm?link=140841

Not sure if that is what you are trying to do, but maybe it will point
you in the right direction?

Hello Kerem, Pavel and Tom,

When one goes to Control Panel>Power Option there is an option to set the
time Windows will wait to shut down hard discs.
I want to achieve the same functionality, I don't know what exactly that
power option means (if it ejectes discs or it enables/disables discs), but I
supose there is a way to do it by using a Win23 method or somethig else.

Thank you so much.
