Obtain Cd-Rom path and one more

1) Can anyone tell how can i obtain the primary cd/dvd - rom path using C

2)
Check my code. I want to copy "setup.exe" using C programming. iF THE path does not contain spaces the copy of the file completes perfect but if i want to use spaces between the path nothing happens.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
        char cp[80] = "copy setup.exe " ,*destination;
               
        /*Allocate memory for strings*/   
        destination = malloc (40 * sizeof(char));
   
        destination = "C:\\Program Files\\top";
               
            strcat(cp,destination);
            printf("%s\n",cp);
            system(cp);               
 
 return 0;
}

What can i do ?

Use the win32 API to copy the files, rather than using system().

If you 'must' use system(), then you need to use the same quoting rules that you would use on the command line.

Say
destination = "\"C:\\Program Files\\top\"";

I have no idea how you find the CD-ROM - there's probably some way to find out what type of drive(s) there are in the system - and you should consider that there may be more than one CD-ROM drive in the system [my home computer has one one CD burner and one DVD-rom - both of which the computer considers CD-ROM type drives].

As to "spaces in the path", you should use quotes, e.g. your string should be

Code:

---

copy setup.exe "c:\program files\..."

---

Use \" to insert quotes into a string.

Use GetLogicalDrives() to determine what drive letters exist.
Use GetDriveType() to determine if it's a CDROM.
