Get drive name on Win 10?

[Dude]

I've been using the following code perfectly for years with Windows XP and 7, but I just found out that it doesn't return a disk drive volume name for Windows 10 (based on a screenshot I saw of my app, not from personal experience). Can someone with Windows 10 please confirm? Thank you.

Code: Select all

d$="C:\"

drivename$=Space(999)
driveserial$=Space(999)
drivefs$=Space(999)

GetVolumeInformation_(d$,@drivename$,990,@serial,0,0,@drivefs$,990)

s$=Hex(serial,#PB_Long) : driveserial$=Left(s$,4)+"-"+Right(s$,4)

Debug drivename$ ; Shows empty string on Windows 10. :(
Debug driveserial$
Debug drivefs$

Confirmed.

[Dude]

Dammit. Thanks.

[Thunder93]

Use

Code: Select all

..

[Dude]

Thanks Thunder93!

[Edit] I seriously think I'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade to Win 10 before July 27. It'll make bug-testing easier too because a Win XP ISO is way smaller in size than Win 10, for VirtualBox.

Nope didn't work. hmmmm

[Dude]

Nope didn't work. hmmmm

Huh? Oh crap. I might start the Win 10 upgrade tonight then...

[Thunder93]

They work. Reason why it's blank, not everyone has their drives labelled so it becomes ' Local Disk (?:) ' in File Explorer.

[Dude]

So my original code works too?

[Thunder93]

Yes.

[Dude]

Yes.

Again: Thanks Thunder93!

BTW, I tested it with an unlabelled drive and you're right. Thanks for helping me with this.

[Thunder93]

No problem.

[Dude]

And thanks for saving me from upgrading to Windows 10.

[Thunder93]

I don't know if I actually done you good service there...

And thanks for saving me from upgrading to Windows 10.

@Dude,
I wanted to find the drive name on Windows 10. Unfortunately I hadn't got a clue.
Luckily I managed to find this thread.
Thank you very much for posting the question and also thanks to Thunder93 for the tip.
