Ok, maybe outside your programming language but could you use VBS?
This script lists all the known disks and display most of their information:
on error resume next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
For each objDisk in colDisks
Wscript.Echo "Compressed: " & vbTab & objDisk.Compressed
Wscript.Echo "Description: " & vbTab & objDisk.Description
Wscript.Echo "DeviceID: " & vbTab & objDisk.DeviceID
Wscript.Echo "DriveType: " & vbTab & objDisk.DriveType
Wscript.Echo "FileSystem: " & vbTab & objDisk.FileSystem
Wscript.Echo "FreeSpace: " & vbTab & objDisk.FreeSpace
Wscript.Echo "MediaType: " & vbTab & objDisk.MediaType
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & vbTab & objDisk.Name
Wscript.Echo "QuotasDisabled: " & vbTab & objDisk.QuotasDisabled
Wscript.Echo "QuotasIncomplete: " & vbTab & objDisk.QuotasIncomplete
Wscript.Echo "QuotasRebuilding: " & vbTab & objDisk.QuotasRebuilding
Wscript.Echo "Size: " & vbTab & objDisk.Size
Wscript.Echo "SupportsDiskQuotas: " & vbTab & _
objDisk.SupportsDiskQuotas
Wscript.Echo "SupportsFileBasedCompression: " & vbTab & _
objDisk.SupportsFileBasedCompression
Wscript.Echo "SystemName: " & vbTab & objDisk.SystemName
Wscript.Echo "VolumeDirty: " & vbTab & objDisk.VolumeDirty
Wscript.Echo "VolumeName: " & vbTab & objDisk.VolumeName
Wscript.Echo "VolumeSerialNumber: " & vbTab & _
objDisk.VolumeSerialNumber
wscript.echo

You didn't mention a language. You might also check the scripting area to see if there are other scripts.

Hi,
Is there anyway to know the higest disk number in the windows
2000 server.
More in detail:
I have storage subsystems(EVA, XP) connected to the server.
I am trying to get the disk numbers of all the disks by CreateFile()
passing \\PHYSICALDRIVExx , xx incrementing from 0. I dont want to loop
through maximum supported disks by windows 2000 which is 255(HBA limit
also) even if I have only 5 disks. To stop looping when CreateFile()
fails, incase of the disk numbers not in sequence this wont cover for
all the disks.
I appreciate if somebody can help me.
Regards,
sanind
