Your question is not really clear. If I'am imaging right use:
- System.IO.DriveInfo ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.driveinfo.aspx[^] )

And work with the following classes:
- DirectoryInfo http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directoryinfo.aspx[^]
- FileInfo http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/system.io.fileinfo.aspx[^]

Or ask detailled if you need more information.

I agree with aspnet_regiis, but voted 4, as you should better add links to these types... Still, a good answer.
