[2008] HDDs & Their Letters

Hi! I have a problem. I want to get letters to each harddrive I have recognized in WMI . I give an example:

I have:

1x HDD (400 GB) Samsung (fixed) - 4 partitions (one of them is for Linux, the biggest problem!)
1x HDD (250 GB) Seagate (external) - 1 partition

And in Windows I can see 4 harddrives. So the thing: How can I get exact letters belonging to Samsung, and letter(s) belonging to Seagate? Make sure, that user can have more drives and more partition (maybe Linux too) ... I can divide my Seagate too, like 20 GB and 230 GB ... you know. I've checked much things in WMI like Win32_DiskPartition, but it does not help me so much ... Thanks for any suggestions ;)

Does it have to be through WMI?
If not cant you just use the My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives collection?

Hm, I ve checked that too, but how can I assign letters to HDD Model and everything? I am programming an informational and benchmark program now.
Like in HDTach: example ...

Samsung HD420JL ( C:,D:,E: ) - 400 GB ... How can I recognize these letters in disk has partitions?

What do you mean you want to actually give the HDs letters? Or do you mean you just want to find out what letters they already have?
I am sure each item in the Drives collection I mentioned has a property called DriveLetter or something...
As for finding out the model etc then yeah you probably will need WMI or something similar for that

Yes, I have to find out hard disk model in WMI. But, I want to know, what letter (or letters if it has more partitions) Windows use for this HD (HD, that I found in WMI before).

I think it's a bit harder than I thought.

You can use that Drives collection I mentioned for the drive letters like I said :)

vb Code:

For Each Drive As IO.DriveInfo In My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives
            MessageBox.Show(Drive.Name)
Next

:D Oh, I wish you speak in Czech language :) No, but how can I know, that Drive D: is my Samsung HD242456LA (<- I made it up) and letter J: and K: is my partitioned Seagate? How could program know which letter is assigned to each harddrive? I dont know how to explain it better :D

Ahhh I see what you mean now! Sorry.
So have you already got the WMI bit working that gets the model number etc? If not, here's an example: http://www.geekpedia.com/tutorial233...nd-Csharp.html

Also, this might help you get the drive letter: http://bytes.com/groups/net-c/272971...em#post1091940

I am sorry. My English is rubbish, really.
Can I add C# into my VB.NET project? Or convert it somehow?

EDIT: I don't really understand it ... it's kind of messy text here and there. Can you describe, how can I get these letters?
It will help me a lot, I can put your weblink or your nick into my program's About box, if it will be done. Thank you.

Hey, guys!

Can somebody explain me this mess here:

It would help me a lot, thanks.

gigemboy has provided a CodeBank submission on this very site that demonstrates getting all sorts of information using WMI.

No, you can't add C# code to a VB project or vice versa. Each project can contain only one language. Each project can reference other projects though, and those other projects could written in another language.

Thanks for the link, but actually it is unable to download this DLL file. I have just problem with HDD Letters ... can you help?
You know, if you have this DLL, you can provide another link (mediafire.com ...), it will be handy ;)

Please, can anyone help? I really need this ... :)
