so the following code:
Dim objFSO : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim colDrives : Set colDrives = objFSO.Drives
Dim objWMIService : Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:")
Dim objLogicalDisk
Dim objDrive
For Each objDrive in colDrives
Set objLogicalDisk =
objWMIService.Get("Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID='" & objDrive.DriveLetter & ":'")
Log(objLogicalDisk.DriveType)
Next
is used to get the disk type of each drive on a system. What I want to know is, what do the returned numbers ('3','4','5', etc) refer to? Looking around on the internet I find different answers to what they should be on my system - according to the internet:
Unknown = 0
Removable = 1 ' Removable medium
Fixed = 2 ' Fixed medium (hard disk)
Remote = 3 ' Network drive
CDROM = 4 ' CD-ROM
RAMDisk = 5 ' RAM disk
and according to the data i've gathered so far, 3 = my Local C Drive, 5 = my local D (DVD) Drive, 4 = network drives.
If anyone can help clear up this ambiguity, that would be great :)
The official WMI reference is in the MSDN library.
As for your question, the Win32_LogicalDisk class reference describes the following DriveType values:
Value Meaning -------------------------- 0 Unknown 1 No Root Directory 2 Removable Disk 3 Local Disk 4 Network Drive 5 Compact Disc 6 RAM Disk
