Hi folks, I have three hard disks on my PC 2 of em are in a RAID1 arrangement. (C:) 1 is stand alone (G:) and I have a drive letter F: created via a sub command I run as a service on start DRIVEF.BAT whose source is subst f: c:\Dev See, all my batch files I use for archiving was originally setup as drive F on and older PC, so I place my entire Development environment in a Path c:\dev.. ANYWAY!... I am writing this sorting application and I think I can get better performance if I do asynchronous writes to temp paths on each accessible drives HOWEVER!..... I need to know which drives are physically independent of one another. Imagine now that my drive c: also has a partition H:, then C: and H: and F: are all physically be the same. Making temporary writes to all three will be useless. SO!.... (finally) How can I truly get a reflection of which drives letters I can use that will represent all the physically accessible drives independent of one another (not including CDROM/Floppy). Thanks for reading folks!
