On Windows, all the info you want is in the registry. That means you can get it 
very quickly with Rev's 'queryRegistry' function.

Check out these registry locations (or whatever they're called), and see how 
their values change as you mount, unmount, disconnect various storage devices:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk\Enum\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR\Enum\


There may be other registry values you need as well, but I'm guessing the second 
one in the above list will help.

HTH -
