Its simple:o)<br />
well maybe not quite<br />
you need to use SetupDiXXX class of functions <br />
<br />
use SetupDiGetClassDevs to enumerate devices of certain class<br />
examine content of <br />
devguid.h &nbsp; &nbsp;// Device guids<br />
setupapi.h &nbsp; // SetupDiXXX<br />
cfgmgr32.h<br />
header files<br />
<br />
if that will help - here is MS knowledge base sample on how to enumerate CD-ROM drives and their properties<br />

This should give you basic idea - or will scare you off &nbsp;:o)<br />

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
