How can I get list of all drives but also get the corresponding drive type (removable,local disk, or cd-rom,dvd-rom... etc)?

How can I get list all drives but also get the corresponding drive type (removable, local disk, or cd-rom, dvd-rom, etc)?

Solution 1:

With this code you can get all drives and its type description

File[] paths;
FileSystemView fsv = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();

// returns pathnames for files and directory
paths = File.listRoots();

// for each pathname in pathname array
for(File path:paths)
{
    // prints file and directory paths
    System.out.println("Drive Name: "+path);
    System.out.println("Description: "+fsv.getSystemTypeDescription(path));
}

Solution 2:

Assuming it's windows, use File.listRoots() to get all roots. Then use FileSystemView to check whether it's floppy disk or a drive. Other than that I have no idea.
