Thanks.
About second query t know if any disk is physical disk or usb drive, I want
to know it though disk (not through drive).
SUppose PHYSICALDISK0 is hadr disk and PHYSICALDISK1 is usb drive.
There is one more way. Hard disk contains MBR information while USB drive
does n ot contain it. Is there any API which tell whether any disk contains
MBR information or not.

Hi again,

yes, there is also a api/ioctl for that:

IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO
IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO_EX (this one!)

I have ready to go (GPL) code if you like. Drop me a line
ill send you the source,...

Regards

Kerem
