Hi,
You can use GetDriveType() API. A sample is here:

Hello,

You can use WMI to get this kind of information. I wrote some sample code
that you can find here:

(I posted it to a website because of readability).

You can find more information about Win32_LogicalDisk WMI Class here:

I hope this helps you!
