Posted by Karthick P.K on May 30, 2010

#include <windows.h> 
#include <winbase.h> 
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std;

void main()
{

  bool x=0;    
  char lpVolumeNameBuffer[1000];
  DWORD nVolumeNameSize;
  DWORD lpVolumeSerialNumber;
  DWORD lpMaximumComponentLength;
  DWORD lpFileSystemFlags;
  char lpFileSystemNameBuffer[1000];
  DWORD nFileSystemNameSize;
  char a[100];
  cout<<"A trailing backslash is required when you enter diskname. For example, you specify \\\\MyServer\\\MyShare as \\\\MyServer\\MyShare\\ or\n the C drive as C:\\";

   cout<<"\n"<<"Enter the Disk:";
   cin>>a;
   nVolumeNameSize= sizeof( (TCHAR) (lpVolumeNameBuffer))+1;
   nFileSystemNameSize=sizeof( (TCHAR) (lpFileSystemNameBuffer))+1;
 
  x= GetVolumeInformation((LPCSTR)&a, (LPSTR) lpVolumeNameBuffer,256,&lpVolumeSerialNumber,&lpMaximumComponentLength,&lpFileSystemFlags,(LPSTR) lpFileSystemNameBuffer,256);

            if (x==0)

            {
                int e=GetLastError();
                printf ( "Error getting volume information, Error ID:");
                printf ("%d",e);
            }
            else
            {
            cout<<"Disk:"<<a;    
            cout<<"\nVolumeNameBuffer:"<<lpVolumeNameBuffer;
            cout<<"\nVolumeSerialNumber:"<<lpVolumeSerialNumber;
            cout<<"\nMaximumComponentLength:"<<lpMaximumComponentLength;
            cout<<"\nFileSystemFlags:"<<lpFileSystemFlags;
            cout<<"\nFileSystemNameBuffer:"<<lpFileSystemNameBuffer;
            }

  
}

    I purchased TLAM in the Kindle edition. I want to follow the “Marathon: End It” plan for any marathon in March,
    but I am a “hard-copy” type of girl when subsequent a instruction program.
    Are you able to offer any suggestions for trying to print
    out the plan or every other ideas for acquiring a replica I’m
    able to place on my fridge? Thanks!
