how to list drive type in c# when there is no drive letter??
Posted on 2011-03-08
just same as title says, i'm trying to create a little program that can assign drive letter to removable drive that has no drive letter assigned by system automatically.
it is mainly under windows.
i have got most of part, but i could not find a way to test if a usb removable drive has drive letter or not.
how can I do this in c# ?

check out a command called 'fsutil'
It's a windows command that contains a lot of information about windows internals. You can invoke this command from within your C# code by spawning a new process and capturing its output. If you can't capture the output, have the command pipe its results to a text file and then read the text file for your results.
Hope this'll get you started.
