Format Drive in Python

Question

I\'m attempting to make a Python 3.3 program to format a drive in Windows such as a SD Card or USB Stick. I tried the code here: http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/537724

Answer 1

I found the solution! This line:

 FMIFS_HARDDISK = 0x0C

should be like this

 FMIFS_UNKNOWN = 0

That simply makes it format by Unknown!

Answer 2

I've looked long and hard for documentation of the windows calls, I could not find anything on Microsoft that matched how FormatEx is called here.

Finally I've found this: http://doxygen.reactos.org/df/d85/fmifs_8h_source.html

Here you can find how to set the cluster size for example.
