Do you really want to disable, or just dismount? Big difference.

Well, what is your problem? You are trying to apply this HwDetect software to the purposes it was NOT designed for. Aren't you?
From thin article:

Introduction

Hot-pluggable device is now a big threat to IT security. In this article, we will try to develop a user-mode application to detect device change on the system, i.e. plug-in a USB drive, iPod, USB wireless network card, etc. The program can also disable any newly plugged devices. We will get a basic idea on how this works and talk about its limitations at the end of this article.

So, the author don't mention this software could enable, mount or dismount any plugged devices: it only can detect and disable.

Take a look at the SetupDi functions. Ex. SetupDiRemoveDevice().

Use the SetupDi functions to enumerate the PC's USB connections. In your case you are looking for the Mass Storage devices. Once you have the handle to the device, use the specific SetupDi function (as I mentioned before) to enable, disable, etc. Read the section on SetupDi in the Help.
