How to use a FileSystemWatcher for monitoring new drives

Looking for C# code for detecting removable drive (usb flash)

How could the System.IO.FileSystemWatcher class be used to detect drives (e.g. F:) being connected/disconnected under windows? If this is not possible, what other event driven ways are possible (other than polling DriveInfo.GetDrives())?

Thanks in advance.
