Hi Frank,
There is no command that I can think of that does this; you'd have to write a program or script to do it. Here are sample script and C++ program (they both do the same thing). If these are useful, tailor as you wish.
Regards,
Andy
WMI SCRIPT
' ListDrives.vbs
' Invoke by running
'
' cscript ListDrives.vbs
'
' from an OS command prompt.
strComputer = "."
set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
set disks = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
for each objDisk in disks
select case objDisk.DriveType
case 0
' I would not normally expect to see this.
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Unknown"
case 1
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Invalid root path"
case 2
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Removable"
case 3
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Fixed"
case 4
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Remote"
case 5
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " CD-ROM"
case 6
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " RAM disk"
case Else
' I would not normally expect to see this.
Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " ??????"
end select
next

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
