<h4>Return Values</h4>
<p>The current drive status is returned in combination of status flags described below. FatFs refers only <tt>STA_NOINIT</tt> and <tt>STA_PROTECT</tt>.</p>
<dd>Indicates that the device is not initialized and not ready to work. This flag is set on system reset, media removal or failure of <tt>disk_initialize</tt> function. It is cleared on <tt>disk_initialize</tt> function succeeded. Any media change that occurs asynchronously must be captured and reflect it to the status flags, or auto-mount function will not work correctly. If the system does not support media change detection, application program needs to force de-initialize the file system object and re-mount the volume with <tt>f_mount</tt> function after each media change.</dd>
<dd>Indicates that the medium is write protected. This is always cleared at the drives without write protect function. Not valid if no medium in the drive.</dd>
