    Hmmm....nice but doesn't give drive names


    Anything I post is an example only and is not intended to be the only solution, the total solution nor the final solution to your request nor do I claim that it is. If you find it useful then it is entirely up to you to make whatever changes necessary you feel are adequate for your purposes.

    There is also GetVolumeInformation api - here is another sample (didn't take much to search for that either).
