The most fully featured way to get information about hardware devices is to
use WMI. WMI functionality is accesable in the System.Management namespace
and requires a reference to system.management.dll.

The WMI class you will need is Win32_LogicalDisk.

Look in the .NET help for the ObjectQuery class for an example of using the
namespace.
