Detect drives that could contain removeable media

[Guest]

Is there a simple approach in vb.net to search logical drives to determine
which are removeable media types (e.g., a zip drive or the A drive)?
I've used FSO with VB6 for this and am now searching for a vb.net replacement.

For Each di As DriveInfo In DriveInfo.GetDrives()
If (di.DriveType = DriveType.Removable) Then
Console.WriteLine (di.Name & " is removable")
End If
Next

Thanks. How do I define DriveInfo? What reference do I use?

It is in System.IO namespace. Remember it is only from .NET 2.0
