disk-management: w2k-compatibility on nt4?

[Dennis Bäcker]

hello!

does anyone know how to gain sufficent system-information to dynamically
create an adequat registry-structure and content for the
HKLM\System\MountedDevices-key?
on nt4-machines only exists the key HKLM\System\Disk which contains the
information about mounted drives. but i have a program that reads
information from HKLM\System\MountedDevices to build a machine-specific
INF-file. i need this on nt4.

i think i have to search the registry for some GUID's of the attached
storage-devices or something and write them in a special format to the
registry-key mentioned, but i have no exact idea!

can anyone help me?

TIA!

Windows NT, 2000 and XP keep a list of partitions,
identifying each by a signature. You can find detailed
explanation on the relationship between signatures, drive
letters and the \MountedDevices key in "How does Windows
XP remember drive letters?" at the url

For what? What is your purpose? To assign a drive letter? Then just use the
documented APIs.
