How to detect when new media is inserted?

Asked by bganoush in Windows Programming, C++ Programming Language, Removable Backup Media

Tags: ,

Hi,

I need to be able to detect when a removable drive is inserted so I can look for specific files. I would like to do this as a memory resident application that launches on system startup. In any case, does anyone have any sample code to at least show which event to look at? As a bonus, it would be great to know what kind of media it is, like CD... memory stick... SD card...  then I can tailor my search depending on the media...

I'd like to do this in Visual C++ or Visual C#.
