    It isn't that simple. Win 9X doesn't know about much about parititions, NT uses the registry.

    Go here for an explanation:

    http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/info/diskkey.shtml

    They supply freeware & code in C++ for a lot of what they talk about. Use the search facility on the page to find more information.

    The NT part is obvious - I don't know an answer for Win9X. If I had to guess, I'd seach the American Megatrends site (AMI BIOS people) and look for code that gets partition infomation from the BIOS, if it exists.

    I can't do that at the moment.
