Hard Drives & Directories

[magic]

Hi,

I an using a Treeview (Borland Builder) to display all the files on the hard drive (windows explorer style).

I am using FindFirst() to get the files and telling it to look in the C Drive, how can I confirm if the C drive is the root drive, also how can I look for D, E drives etc.

I need a function to examine the make up of the hard drive.

Can anyone help?

Do you mean, confirm that windows is on C:\ ? That should be easy enough, just enumerate directories until you find a windows directory. I believe you can also call an API function to return the windows drive and path in a string.

Just checked, the function is GetWindowsDirectory().

I need a function to examine the make up of the hard drive

I don't quite understand, could you elaborate? What aspect are you examining?

Thanks, but how can I tell if a D or E partiton exists?

By setting the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY bit in the WIN32_FIND_DATA struct.
Then you just scroll through the alphabet..
If a drive is present, it will have a root dir:
A:\
B:\
C:\
etc..
