I was not able to reproduce your results. I have tried several USB drives
and they all came back as expected. I wonder if your USB device is
encrypted?
If I were to do this in VB 6, I would have used either API or FSO using
samples from Randy Birch's website vbnet.mvps.org, and it occured to me that
I didn't know how to enumerate drives in .Net. You would think that
System.IO would allow you this information, but nay. I found an article
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/logicaldiskinfo.asp that shows
System.Management is the namespace that you would use. It appears that it
is just a WMI wrapper with late bound objects and structures.
