I've seen install programs that search a hard drive for previous instances
of a program, or to find installs of other needed programs.
I need to search a hard drive for any installations of OpenOffice. I know
in *nix I can start by using "/" as the file name and doing a recursive
listing of the file system from there. (Yes -- I know about permissions to
read directories -- that's another issue I've already solved.)
How do I find the root level for Windows boxen? For example, if a Windows
box has C:, D:, and E: drives, how do I get a list of all the drives so I
can scan them -- AND how can I tell which ones have media in them so I
don't scan floppies or CD-ROMs that are empty?
Thanks!
