If you have WMI installed, you can create a VBS file that contains this;
<------------cut here-------------->
function driveType(x)
if (x = 0) then
driveType = "Unknown"
elseif x = 1 then
driveType = "No root"
elseif x = 2 then
driveType = "Removable(flash/floppy)"
elseif x = 3 then
driveType = "HDD"
elseif x = 4 then
driveType = "Network drive"
elseif x = 5 then
driveType = "DVD/CD"
elseif x = 6 then
driveType = "RAM disk"
end if
end function
strComputer = "."
set wbemSvc = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer)
set wbemSet = wbemSvc.InstancesOf("Win32_LogicalDisk")
for each wbemObject in wbemSet
wscript.echo wbemObject.Name & " " & driveType(wbemObject.DriveType)
next
<---------------- cut here--------->
save it as say, driveL.VBS, then create a CMD file that contains
CSCRIPT /NOLOGO driveL.VBS
and run your cmd file. Should give you something like this;
A: Removable(flash/floppy)
C: HDD
D: HDD
E: DVD/CD
G: Removable(flash/floppy)
X: Network drive
although obviously, your drives may vary 
Checkout the Win32_LogicalDisk docs in MSDN, and you can see how it all works. Not a huge amount of work to extend it to display things like network paths, but I left you something to do - I'm supposed to be looking for paid work ATM, after all !!

Thank you very much for your valuable answer. Now it is working. Can you give me the resource that you post me the answer? It is easy for me to learn in the future and customize the code as I need.

Most of the information comes straight from the MSDN library. The WMI stuff is explained (kind of  ) in there in various places, but the "Scripting Clinic" is a good place to start. If you don't have the MSDN library on CD, use the online version[^] as a starting point.
WMI is easy to use from VBScript, much easier than in C++, although that's my preferred option

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up a telnet server for our internal use on a Windows 2003 Server, and can't make it work. I have enabled and started the Telnet service, as well as the Secondary Logon service, both are running, the user account in question is a member of Telnet Clients group.
But it still doesn't work unless the user is also a member of the Administrators group (Power Users membership won't help). I've read somewhere that the user must also be allowed to log on locally, so I have added this particular user to the list of those allowed to log on locally, but still it doesn't work unless the user account is a member of Administrator.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rado

So the server works fine, you are having a permissions problem with a certain user then correct?

I am currently trying to learn assembl. I haven't started yet, nor written one lien of it. I know how both a processor and memory works, an I want to write in that language. Is assembly that language. A processor only has about 16 commands, I want to write in that language, and not need an OS. Of course the OS to test and to program is almost impossible to be without, but how do I do it.
Thanks for any help given.

Are you talking about Intel/AMD processors or something simpler, like PIC chips?
I've written assembler routines for both, and the PIC is much simpler to learn, there are fewer instructions, although of course you need a PC of some sort to program the PICs.

What do you mean? You mean the coding editor or the programming language?

When I run the setup on Windows Server 2003 (for SBS edition) it tells me it isn't supported because it is less than SQL Server 2000 SP2. I've installed it before so I knew it was coming. Previously I have just ignored that message, and installed the SP straight afterwards.
Even the official workaround states this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329329[^]
Yet this time when the setup loads, before the wizard shows I get this message:
---------------------------
Setup
---------------------------
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition server component is not supported on this operating system. Only client components will be available for installation.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
So how do I install the server in order to apply the SP3? Only the client tools option is enabled in the setup.

Find the CD Office XP professional edition. And try to find the folder MSDE2000. Then run the setup file. Then you will be able to confige the database as database server.

Can you explain a bit more to me, please? Where do I find the Office XP professional edition CD. Is that MSDE? I have a DVD MSDN Universal subscription + licenses for SBS, SQL Server 2000 and Office.
And surely this isn't the way you are meant to install SQL Server 2000 on a Windows Server 2003 machine? They are both current top-line serve systems sold by Microsoft so they must be compatible. Is my SBS installation maybe messed up to disable to the SQL Server installation?

I've only done this install about 30 times using an MSDN Subscription to SQL Server. I have never seen this problem before. I would suggest a few things.
If you burned from an ISO burn again using a slower burn speed. If you are installing from a DVD, copy out the SQL Server install folder and burn it in the root structure of a CD. The installer was never meant to run from a DVD run it from a CD (that may sound weird but it has never failed me ever).
If that does not work copy the contents into a folder on the server and run the installation from there.
Lastly, make sure you are logged on as "Administrator".

I haven't used ISO images, I used the installs directly from the folder on the DVD. I will try burning it on a CD and running it from there as you say.

If the CD fails, I'll try that too.

Hi,
I've created Disk filter driver based on diskperf and I need to Create/Read/Write my c:\\myFile.dat. But I can't nor create nor read and write the file. I tried these operations from everywhere  , also I created a system thread but the result is same.
I'm using ZwXXX functions. The only place from where I can open and read the file is IoControl, but the status code for ZwWriteFile is STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.
Please, tell me how workaround this problem ?
many thanks and sorry for weak english.

I have a device with Bluetooth which I am trying to communicate with. I am using the Windows XP drivers on my PC.
I can pair with the device and use it without problems, until it is switched off or goes out of range. Then I have to 'Remove' it from the list of Paired devices & pair again.
I don't think this is right because Microsoft say if its on the list it should still be paired. Anyone else got any experience of this?

I am trying for network printing by firing job from Mac OS acting as a client and Windows XP OS as a server.
I see that spool file is not getting created properly on windows xp when
windows default LPD server is running, but when we ignore the Data Length of spool file in LPD service by writing new LPD service at windows end, then it works fine and now spool file is got created on windows server, when we fire print jobs from Mac OS.
This is because Mac sends by default 1 TeraByte of data to Windows OS,
which we have to ignore at windows end otherwise we cannot get the spool
file created at windows end.
But this change in implementing LPD service by ignoring Data length can
effect or have impact when we fire jobs from other OS like Windows 2k, Win
98, Win ME, etc as a client. Since only one LPD service can be in running
mode or is eligible to run within the Operating System.
Therefore my question was that what will be the effect on other OS printing
as a client to Windows XP, if we change the implementation of default LPD
service by ignoring the Data length of the spool file in order to support
Mac OS printing as a client ?

I have been working on a real time project which is highly dependent on the system clock of PC.
But my team members are very much worried of the "Drift in the System Clock"?
Can any body give some hint what it is and what are the solutions to come over this problem.
Thanks in Advance
