Hi folks,

I do have a problem with the win32-function GetVolumeInformation. With the
following line I try to get the VolumeLabel from my CD-ROM D:-Drive;
char vlabel [32]; //* buffer for VolumeLabel
unsigned int vlabellength;
GetVolumeLabel ("D:\\", vlabel, vlabellength, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL)

Nevertheless I always get
a) nonsens in vlabel and
b) a totally irrelevant length of the buffer vlabel?

What is going wrong here?

Thanks in advance.
