Types of disk drives etc

Using the framework you can use
Environment.GetLogicalDrives which gives a string array of
drives and mapped drives on the current system, but how
can you tell if the drive is a floppy, hard drive,network
drive etc.

Thanks in advance Pete.

Found the Answer - WMI via System.Management class - also
has a whoile heap of useful objects for accessing general
machine/application/config etc.

Thanks anyway Pete.

A couple of useful links for WMI - quite suprising some of
the information you can get from WMI.
