Hi,

I use the following to get drive info on Windows XP.


use Win32API::File qw( :Func );

%driiv_name = ();
@drives_volumes = ();
@driivs = ();

sub find_drives
{
    eval{
        @driivs= getLogicalDrives();
    };
    if( $@ ) {
        my $msg = $mw->MesgBox(
                      -title     => 'Fatal Error.',
                   -text      => "No Logical Drives found.",
                   -icon      => 'ERROR',
                   -buttons   => ['OK'] )->Show;
    }
        
    my $lup = 0;
    my $endlup = scalar( @driivs );
    
    while( $lup < $endlup ) {
        $sRootPath = $driivs[$lup];
        GetVolumeInformation( $sRootPath, $osVolName, $lVolName, 
                $ouSerialNum, $ouMaxNameLen, $ouFsFlags, $osFsType, $l
+FsType );
        $drives_volumes[$lup] = sprintf "%-5s%15s", $sRootPath, $osVol
+Name ;
        $driiv_name{$drives_volumes[$lup]} = $sRootPath;
        $lup++;
    }
    
    
    $FS_Tname = $drives_volumes[0];
    $FD_Tname = $drives_volumes[0];
    
}

This is a stripped down version.
Hopefully I haven;t taken out anything vital.
