Hi Mr. Lebeau, thank You as always for Your answer ...
 I would like to follow the DeviceIoControl()  way ... Really I searched 
already its ducumentation before asking for help, but in my BCB SDK there's 
nothing about SCSI!! And in fact when compiling, it can't find 
IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA and the other structs ... I copied the example 
You suggested, but I have no such headers in my hdisk :-(
Reading MSDN it sounds I need Windows DDK, but they want something like 200$ 
!!! And I need only 2 headers!!!
Could You kindly suggest me where to download them from?
Thank You very much!!!
Best Regards,
Stefano B.
