Hi all. I use code listed below to determine Drive Signature, but I don't know how to get DriveLetter.

using System.Management;

string Signature;
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive");
foreach (ManagementObject wmi_HD in searcher.Get())
{

try
{
Signature = wmi_HD["Signature"].ToString();
}
catch (Exception)
{
Signature = "Unknown";
}

MessageBox.Show(Signature);//need to know current DriveLetter too
}

The final goal is to get a Signature of needed Drive.

C#

private void btnGetDrive_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   // Store this in string array
   string[] drives = Environment.GetLogicalDrives();
   // Loop string 
   foreach(string strDrive in drives)
   {
      // Add items (drives) to the list
      listBox1.Items.Add(strDrive.ToString());
   }
}

This should give you the list of all drives on a system

Hope this helps
