cd drive help

[deoblo1]

If i have 2 cd drives one is a burner, and one is a pos! how can i check to see which one has a cd in it, or what cd, or eject them and stuff like that?

To open and close the CD drive

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As String, ByVal uReturnLength As Long, ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long

Private Sub cmdOpen_Click()
    'Open the CD Drive
    mciSendString "set CDAudio door open", 0, 127, 0
End Sub

Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
    'Close the CD Drive
    mciSendString "set CDAudio door closed", 0, 127, 0
End Sub

Take a look at the platform SDK: Base Services->Hardware->Device Input and Output->Device Input and Output Reference->Device Input and Output Control Codes->IOCTL_STORAGE_CHECK_VERIFY.
This is untested, but is a possibility to see if it has a CD loaded or not.
