    I need to be able to detect CD Burning devices, but after searching for some time now I'm still not sure how to get the information I need. I need to be able to detect that there is indeed a device that can burn to CD-R/CD-RW (be is a CD burner, or a DVD burner than supports burning CDs too). What I *really* need is the drive letter for that device. I do not actually need to do any burning, I simply need to detect that one exists and report the drive's letter. If you have any ideas that will save me from Google-Hell, please let me know! Thanks! : Dean : Dean 'Karnatos' Michaud
