It is not completely successful. It is just returning a single drive's name Actually I want all the name's of all drives in my system. Thanks in Advance Velayudhan

You should first read the documentation carefully :) Quote from MSDN... lpBuffer [out] Pointer to a buffer that receives a series of null-terminated strings, one for each valid drive in the system, that end with a second null character. The following example shows the buffer contents with representing the terminating null character. c:\d:\ End quote... I guess you are trying to assign to a string which terminates where it finds a null character, hence you are not able to get the whole drives.

Dear Velayudhan, I am Listing in LisBox, u can display it in any control. Here is the Code..... unsigned long driveList = GetLogicalDrives(); char drivePathName[] = " :\\"; CString drive; for(int i = 1;i<26; i++) //u can give no of drives in your system { if(0x01 & (driveList >> i)) { drivePathName[0] = 'A' + i; drive.Format("%c",drivePathName[0]); m_List.AddString(drive); } }

Each drive letter is separated by a
nulcharacter. Try:char szDrives[105] = {0};
GetLogicalDriveStrings(sizeof(szDrives), szDrives);char *pToken = szDrives;
while (*pToken != '\0')
{
cout << pToken << endl;
pToken += 4;
}

Fair enough. But the OP already knew how to use the function. He was troubling parsing the resulting buffer.
