FreePlugin: FormatDriveDLL

[RizlaUK]

ok guys, after seeing a post requesting the ability to format a users drive from a ams app, i made this small dll,

A deliberate drawback, it only shows the windows format dialog, the drive and type passed to the dll will be set the dialog, all the user has to do is click "Start" or "Close".

the reason behind this is i will not release anything that could be used to destroy a users system, so the dialog is a fail safe, you will not be able to just format a users drive with out the users conformation, that being said, heres the info

Example call
-- Requires Windows 2000 or higher.
-- Only invokes the format prompt (doesn't format automatically).
-- Return 0 if Error or Cancel / 1 if successfull

sDrive = "e"-- Drive = A: B: C: ...
nType = 0-- Type = 0 for Full Format / 1 for Quick format
result = String.ToNumber(DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\FormatDriveDLL.dll", "FormatDrive", "\""..sDrive.."\","..nType, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_INTEGER, DLL_CALL_STDCALL));
if result == 0 then
Dialog.Message("Debug", "Format Failed", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
elseif result == 1 then
Dialog.Message("Debug", "Format Success", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end


And the APZ

well, you can format a drive from cmd, but im not going to pass on that information here, if anyone wants to do such then google it, this dll is only intended to give ams users the ability to format a drive (safely) without passing on potentiality malicious information that could be used to wipe a hdd.
