Some pcs have only the c drive whilst others like mine have c,d,e,f
and z! How do I detect this automatically if I want to search all
drives in a pc? I also want to ignore the DVD and floppy of course.

In addition, you can determine the drive type via the 'DriveInfo' object's
'DriveType' property.
