Hi,

You can use the following APIs to get the currently available disk
drives on your machine:

GetLogicalDrives()

GetLogicalDriveStrings()

GetDriveType()

You should tell a bit more specifically what type of information you want.
SCSI ID's?
Anyway, FindFirstVolume() might give you something useful. Or maybe even
FindFirstVolumeMountPoint().
And ofcourse one knows that the physical devices are accessible
(CreateFile()) using paths such as \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0
Then there is DeviceIoControl with FSCTL_GET_NTFS_VOLUME_DATA and/or
IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS.

And of course there are PnP related API's but i think they are more
appropriate in kernel mode. But try EnumDeviceDrivers and

If on the other hand you want logical drives, check out GetLogicalDrives().

Simply enumerate \Device\HarddiskX?

Hi,
i have enumerated "PhysicalDriveX" in CreateFile
then i have tested returned value

but i would find a kind of function which gives
number of physical hard drives or handles to physical drive

Hi,
which information can i obtain with IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS
coz i need the name of hard drive too))
thanks

Hi,

You can use the following WMI class to get the name of the disk
drive manufacturer:

Win32_DiskDrive

Always avoid WMI and use the method mentioned above.
It is slow and not installed natively on OS like NT.

Many are running NT4.
