ABSTRACT:
A system and method for detecting the removal of a removable storage medium from a removable storage media mechanism of a computer environment having set protocols and for obtaining parameter information of a newly inserted removable storage medium in an efficient and flexible manner. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention contemplate that parameter information is obtained only subsequent to detection of the removal of a removable storage medium. This allows removable storage media to be swapped quickly and efficiently and also allows various types of components comprising the removable storage media mechanism to be used.
