Hello,

I know how to get all the drives on a computer.. (Directory.GetLogicalDrives)

but is there a way know the physical drives on the computer? (not floopy and
cd or dvd...)

thanks!

I don't know why you'd even want to do this. I can't think of one design that would require something like this so you may want to double check your design.

Having said that, you're going to want to take a look at WMI. There are examples posted in the VB.Net CodeBank. It should be fairly straight forward to convert those to C#

I want to do it in order to search for a file in my computer...

You can test a drive's type using WMI. Search the forum and you'll find examples of doing just this.
