Hello,

I hope my question is send to the right newsgroup this time.

To determine the Hardware-id of the  storage media (harddisc and 
usb-storage) I use the Register information and this works fine.

Now I'm looking for a way wich driveletter belongs to each storage medium.

Maybe someone has an idea?


Thank's a lot.


Regards,


Anton

I'm not quite sure if this is what you are after, but take a look at the 
Win32 calls:

GetLogicalDrives()
GetVolumeInformation()

Don't know about "hardware id" though...

I'll try to explain:

At this moment I have 1 harddisc in my Pc and 2 USB-memorysticks.
Each of them has a unique hardware-id, which my program can find in the 
windows-register.

Now I want to know what driveletters are used for the USB-sticks.

Of course I can see this in windows explorer, but I want my program to make 
that combination.

Thanks for your tip, I'll have a look at those Win32 calls

The hardware-id is the unique number of each storage medium (harddisc and 
usb memorystick)


Kind Regards,

Anton

After that, look at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/VolumeId.mspx

And only after that look for API: QueryDosDevice
