Hi,
Can someone tell me how to detect which drives are actually valid ?
At the minute , I'm just using getdrives(), but it only tells you the
maximum number of drives which might be valid (ie, gives you the last
drive number), but that means any of the drives up to that number
could be non-existant.
getmntent() (or whatever it's called =) is no use to me - I'd need to
check the drives every time, since it won't show the floppy drives
unless there's a disk in them, and that could change every time, and
get getmntent() is _really_ slow..
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanx..
- Lee.
