As a start I would read up on the Windows API.

To get all logical drives on a windows system use

DWORD WINAPI GetLogicalDrives(void);

or

DWORD WINAPI GetLogicalDriveStrings(
  __in   DWORD nBufferLength,
  __out  LPTSTR lpBuffer
);

As see on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364972(v=vs.85).aspx
