Hello, Short question: How to get physical drive number, where specify volume letter i.e. C: is assigned ? any idea ? Mila

int a; a = PathGetDriveNumber("c:\\"); You also need to include "shlwapi.h" and link with shlwapi.lib this is this.

Not that fast ;) This function returns ... quote: "0 through 25 (corresponding to 'A' through 'Z') if the path has a drive letter, or -1 otherwise" In fact, returned value corresponds an logical drive number and doesn't correspond with physical drive number. Mila

I remembered it the moment I had hit the submit button. :) You could still get all the drives in the system, and check if it is a logical or physical drive, maybe. this is this.
