I need to return the DeviceID of the System Reserved partition. I should be able to do this with the Win32_Volume class by first getting the Label property, and if it matches "System Reserved" then get the DeviceID property. The following code crashes with a null reference exception:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ManagementObjectSearcher ms = new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * From Win32_Volume");
foreach (ManagementObject mo in ms.Get())
{
if (mo["Label"].ToString() == "System Reserved")
{
Console.WriteLine(mo["DeviceID"].ToString());
}
}
Console.Read();
}
Here it is for anyone that needs to do this:
string sysGuid = "";
try
{
ManagementObjectSearcher ms = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Volume");
foreach (ManagementObject mo in ms.Get())
{
if (mo["Label"].ToString() == "System Reserved")
{
sysGuid = mo["DeviceID"].ToString();
break;
}
}
}
catch (Exception) {}
