Hello,

Somebody ask me, can I write program that check how many CD was burn using  
CD/DVD writer.

For example.
There is office PC and I want to know how many CD's somone burn on it.

Method should be independent from software that is used to burn data.

I think it should get from cd/dvd writer status what it doing at the  
moment.
Is there any winapi function that can give that kind of information?
Is there any way to get status?

Best Regards.

Patryk B.
