Open the getdrive.cpp main project file from the Solution Explorer. Copy and paste the following code sample. This C++ code will search the current machine and display all the drives and if the drive is ready it will display some information about them.
// getdrive.cpp : main project file.
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
// Array to store drive string
array<DriveInfo^>^ allDrives = DriveInfo::GetDrives();
DriveInfo^ d;
// For each drive...
for each (d in allDrives)
{
// Get the following info...
Console::WriteLine("Drive: {0}", d->Name);
Console::WriteLine(" File type:\t\t{0}", d->DriveType);
Console::WriteLine(" Root Directory:\t{0}", d->RootDirectory);
// More, if the drive is ready, get the following info...
if (d->IsReady == true)

Console::WriteLine(" Volume label:\t\t{0}", d->VolumeLabel);
Console::WriteLine(" File system:\t\t{0}", d->DriveFormat);
Console::WriteLine(" Total size of drive: {0, 15} bytes", d->TotalSize);
