There's a very good article on how to do this at MSDN. It utilizes the GetLogicalDrives, GetLogicalDriveStrings, GetDriveType, and GetVolumeInformation functions. You can download the source from here.

You can use the DeviceIoControl function with the IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX contol code to get a list of partitions.
