I am doing a hard disk scan in my program, and I remember the bad old days when scanning B drive would freeze my machine. Can I skip A and B drives for those users that still have floppies? Are A or B drives in Windows ever used for things other than a floppy disk?
It shouldn’t matter to you which drive letters are assigned to what kind of drives.
Use
GetLogicalDrivesto determine what drive letters are assigned andGetDriveTypeandSetupDiGetDeviceRegistryPropertyto determine the type of a drive.
