Get Drive Letter and Name using C#

Dag Hammarskjold 7403 16-Oct-2013

I am suffering with a program that is how can I get hard disks/ usb's, but it only returns me the drive letter not the name.

DriveInfo[] driveInfo = DriveInfo.GetDrives();

Console.WriteLine("Detected Drives: ");

for(int i = 0; i < driveInfo.Count(); i++)

{

     Console.WriteLine("Drive " + i + ": " + driveInfo[i].Name);

}
return driveInfo;

and this prints:

Drive 0: C:\

Drive 1: E:\

but I want the name such as

Drive 0: C:\ Local disk

Drive 1: E:\ SacnDisk USB

How can I perform that task please help me!

Try this

 try

        {

            DriveInfo[] driveInfo = DriveInfo.GetDrives();

            foreach (DriveInfo drive in driveInfo)

            {

                Console.WriteLine("Drive:" + drive.Name);

                Console.WriteLine("Drive Type:" + drive.DriveType);

                if (drive.IsReady == true)

                {

                    Console.WriteLine("Vol Label:" + drive.VolumeLabel);

                    Console.WriteLine("File System: " + drive.DriveFormat);

                }

            }

        }

        catch (Exception)

        {

            throw;

        }
