check Drives

I am trying to find a way to search drives quickly with base amount of info
(Drive type, drive letter, drive name). I am using WMI win32_logicalDisk to
get a good amount of info. But it runs the floppy drive, seems that there
is a way to get the floppy drive size (3.5 or 5.25) without doing that..

I also need to detect zip drives.

I thought I had it made when I say win32_PhysicalMedia, but it would give me
to info back..just empty variables.

TIA
