You mean, force a Media Change event and override the capacity reported by the hardware? I'm not aware of any API for doing that, although it probably wouldn't be too hard to add one. How would the user know what value to put in for the capacity? Unless the drive had been hooked up to a different computer and the user manually noted the correct capacity and typed it in, it would have to be guesswork.
