Get Drive Letter and Name using C#

Dag Hammarskjold675316-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

Drive0: C:\ Local disk
Drive1: 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; 
        }
