DrivePy

DrivePy is a Python package for managing USB drives, flashing ISO files to USB drives, and verifying bootability.

Installation

You can install DrivePy using pip:

pip install drivepy

Usage

Flash ISO to USB Drive and Make it Bootable

from drivepy.main import DrivePy

iso_path = "path/to/your/iso_file.iso"
usb_drive = "drive_letter_of_your_usb_drive"  # Example: "E:" on Windows, "/dev/sdb" on Linux

DrivePy.flash_iso(iso_path, usb_drive)
DrivePy.make_bootable(usb_drive)

Verify Bootability of a USB Drive

from drivepy.main import DrivePy

usb_drive = "drive_letter_of_your_usb_drive"  # Example: "E:" on Windows, "/dev/sdb" on Linux

DrivePy.verify_bootability(usb_drive)

List Available USB Drives

from drivepy.main import DrivePy

DrivePy.main()

Example Script

from drivepy.main import DrivePy

def flash_iso_and_boot(iso_path, usb_drive):
    # Flash ISO to USB drive
    DrivePy.flash_iso(iso_path, usb_drive)
    print("ISO flashed to USB drive successfully.")

    # Make the USB drive bootable
    DrivePy.make_bootable(usb_drive)
    print("USB drive made bootable successfully.")

    print("Connect the USB drive to your laptop and restart your laptop to boot from it.")

def verify_bootability(usb_drive):
    # Check if USB drive is bootable
    bootable = DrivePy.is_bootable(usb_drive)
    if bootable:
        print(f"The USB drive ({usb_drive}) is bootable.")
    else:
        print(f"The USB drive ({usb_drive}) is not bootable.")

def find_usb_drives():
    # Find available USB drives
    usb_drives = DrivePy.list_usb_drives()
    if not usb_drives:
        print("No USB drives detected.")
    else:
        print("Available USB drives:")
        for idx, drive in enumerate(usb_drives, 1):
            print(f"{idx}: {drive}")

def main():
    print("Welcome to DrivePy!")
    while True:
        print("\nChoose an option:")
        print("1. Flash ISO to USB drive and make it bootable")
        print("2. Verify bootability of a USB drive")
        print("3. Find available USB drives")
        print("4. Exit")
        choice = input("Enter your choice (1/2/3/4): ")

        if choice == '1':
            iso_path = input("Enter the path to the ISO file: ")
            usb_drive = input("Enter the drive letter or device path of the USB drive: ")
            flash_iso_and_boot(iso_path, usb_drive)
        elif choice == '2':
            usb_drive = input("Enter the drive letter or device path of the USB drive: ")
            verify_bootability(usb_drive)
        elif choice == '3':
            find_usb_drives()
        elif choice == '4':
            print("Exiting DrivePy. Goodbye!")
            break
        else:
            print("Invalid choice. Please enter a valid option.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Additional Notes

• Ensure you have necessary permissions to perform operations like flashing ISO and making bootable.
• The ISO file must be bootable if you intend to make the USB drive bootable.
• For Windows, you may need to run the script with administrator privileges for some operations.
• For macOS, some operations may require sudo privileges.
