DismountNtmsDrive Function

[Removable Storage Manager is no longer available as of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.]

The DismountNtmsDrive function queues a command to move the media in the specified drive to its storage slot. This function should be paired with the MountNtmsMedia function.

Syntax

DWORD DismountNtmsDrive(
  __in  HANDLE hSession,
  __in  LPNTMS_GUID lpDriveId
);

Parameters

  • hSession [in]
    Handle to the session returned by the OpenNtmsSession function.

  • lpDriveId [in]
    Unique identifier of a drive object.

Return Value

This function returns one of the following values.

Value Meaning
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

NTMS_MODIFY_ACCESS to the library is denied. Other security errors are also possible, but they would indicate a security subsystem error.

Windows XP/2000:  NTMS_CONTROL_ACCESS to the library is denied. Other security errors are also possible, but they would indicate a security subsystem error.
ERROR_DATABASE_FAILURE

The database is inaccessible or damaged.

ERROR_DATABASE_FULL

The database is full.

ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

The drive or library is not enabled.

Remarks

If the drive specified by the DismountNtmsDrive function is empty or if the media is opened, an error is returned. Otherwise, the media is returned to its slot.

Dismount requests to stand alone drives place the drive in the dismountable state and return success.
