I have a program where I made an assumption, like Windows is installed on C:\. My new desktop I installed Windows on a non-C: drive.
How can I programatically detect the drive letter of the Windows install directory?
Thanks

Not to get on any of the replies, but I find it funny in ALL tech posts where the software is the cause and no one knows the real answer, they blame the hardware being bad.
99.99999% it never is the hardware.

Yes, the blue wireless light is on, still nothing.
I loaded XP on it and it works fine so its not hardware related, under Vista nadda.

I think, fom what I read, the video card has to be an ATI chipset. The cards I am using are not.
I'll try that. Teaches me buying a cheap HP and trying to use it for more than email.
