[Mondal] | Is there a way to determine which drive letter is a FDD, a local disk, | a CD-ROM/COMBO Drive, or a mapped network drive? | | I wrote a script to identify all the drive letters on my Windows XP | system. Now I want to determine their type, too.
Initial quick reposnse: look at WMI. Something like the following could get you going: WMI info from MS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnanchor/html/anch_wmi.asp Python module: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi.html <code> import wmi c = wmi.WMI () for disk in c.Win32_LogicalDisk (): print disk </code> You probably want to look at the DriveType and MediaType attributes, and you may well want to look into other classes such as Win32_DiskDrive. WMI often involves a fair bit of poking around to find the info you need. Fortunately if you can find someone who's answered the question in some other language, perhaps on the WMI newsgroups, you can easily translate that into Python.
