Detect # of Hard Disk?

[Worrow]

Is there any way to detect the number of HD using VB .NET? I have managed to get the number of all disk drive(floppy, HD, CD) with Management Object Collection. But couldn't tell which one is which. Any idea?

What code are you using at the moment to find the drives?

[Worrow]

Somthing like below

 

imports.system.management

 

...

Dim diskClass As _

New ManagementClass("Win32_LogicalDisk")

Dim disks As ManagementObjectCollection = _ diskClass.GetInstances()

Dim disk As New ManagementObject

 

For Each disk In disks

Label1.Text &= disk.Properties("Name").ToString & vbCrLf

Next disk

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The codes above only shows all the drive letters, nothing more.

Use System.Environment.GetLogicalDrives()

 

It will retun an array of strings

 

it will give you A:/

 

C:/

D:/

etc ...

but will not include CD drives

only floppy, harddisks,newtork drives..

 

Hope this helps..
