I'm trying to get hdd details like, volume name, device id, interface type, of an external hdd but it ends up showing it as a fixed local disk. This query sees it as Usb : "select * from Win32_DiskDrive where InterfaceType = 'USB'"; But it doesn't show volume name, and all i need. Pls can someone help me out with d right query. Thanks
