You should tell a bit more specifically what type of information you want. SCSI ID's? Anyway, FindFirstVolume() might give you something useful. Or maybe even FindFirstVolumeMountPoint(). And ofcourse one knows that the physical devices are accessible (CreateFile()) using paths such as \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 Then there is DeviceIoControl with FSCTL_GET_NTFS_VOLUME_DATA and/or IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS. And of course there are PnP related API's but i think they are more appropriate in kernel mode. But try EnumDeviceDrivers and If on the other hand you want logical drives, check out GetLogicalDrives(). - Sten
