Get any usb disk info with Adobe AIR

I've been struggeling with that for a few days so I come and post here.

I have an air application running from an USB drive. I simply want to be able to detect if the files have been moved on a new USB disk.

Is there any way to get any information on the disk like :

The only thing I have acces is the name of the disk but two disks can easily have the same name.

I tried as well to use the "downloaded from Internet" Flag but it does'nt seem to be working.

Thank you so much if you can help me.

Post Adobe AIR 2.0, they have introduced a new apis to handle StorageVolumes You can get the reference and example here. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/reference/html/flash/filesystem/StorageVolumeInfo.html

Use this method to get all the storage volumes connected external/internal.

import flash.filesystem.StorageVolume;
import flash.filesystem.StorageVolumeInfo;

var volumes = StorageVolumeInfo.storageVolumeInfo.getStorageVolumes(); 
for (var i = 0; i < volumes.length; i++) 
{ 
    var volume:StorageVolume = volumes[i];
    trace ("Name ::" + volume.name);
    trace ("Path ::" + volume.rootDirectory.nativePath); 
    trace ("isRemovable ::" + volume.isRemovable);
}

This may be another way to expose that information to AIR: http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2008/01/17/commandproxy-net-air-integration-proof-of-concept/
