disk volume label

If you want to use JDK 1.4 you don't have to ask yourself this question, itdoes automatically this for you. Try to use for example a JFileChooser from JDK1.4.

If not, I believe with native code invoked by Java (Using Runtime.getDefaultRuntime().execute("cmd") and reading from the input stream of the resulted process).

Correction : (Using Runtime.getRuntime().execute("cmd") ....

unfortunately i have jdk1.3

import java.io.*;

public class Test{
     public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
          Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process p=rt.exec("chkdsk f:");
          BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          System.out.println(in.readLine());
          System.out.println(in.readLine());
          p.destroy();
         
     }
}
OUT PUT IS
The type of the file system is FAT32.
