the volume name can be found out from the from GetVolumeInformation(). This function requires the drive letter not the partion number.If you manage to get the drive letter, you can get the volume name. If there is no staright way for doing this, you can use the below method. You can use the QueryDosDevice() function to find the diive letter from parition name. for eg consider the below code. If 'c' is the first partion, the tcDeviceName will contain \Device\HarddiskVolume1. and if you give 'd:', it will be \Device\HarddiskVolume2 and so on TCHAR tcDeviceName[50]; QueryDosDevice( _T("C:"), tcDeviceName, 50 ); suppose you got 1 in the PARTITION_INFORMATION. then make string like "\Device\HarddiskVolume1". Now starting from A to Z, put a loop and call the QueryDosDevice. Compare the device name with the "\Device\HarddiskVolume1". If it matches, you have the drive letter.
