Find all available drives in the system.
 
 
Syntax:
${GetDrives} "[Option]" "Function"
 
"[Option]"      ; [FDD+HDD+CDROM+NET+RAM]
                ;   FDD    Floppy Disk Drives
                ;   HDD    Hard Disk Drives 
                ;   CDROM  CD-ROM Drives
                ;   NET    Network Drives
                ;   RAM    RAM Disk Drives
                ;
                ; [ALL]
                ;   Find all drives by letter (default)
                ;
"Function"      ; Callback function when found
 
Function "Function"
	; $9    "drive letter"  (a:\ c:\ ...)
	; $8    "drive type"    (FDD HDD ...)
 
 
	; $R0-$R9  are not used (save data in them).
	; ...
 
 
	Push $var    ; If $var="StopGetDrives" Then exit from function
FunctionEnd

Example1:

Section
	${GetDrives} "FDD+CDROM" "Example1"
SectionEnd
 
Function Example1
	MessageBox MB_OK "$9  ($8 Drive)"
 
	Push $0
FunctionEnd

Example2:

Section
	${GetDrives} "ALL" "Example2"
SectionEnd
 
Function Example2
	MessageBox MB_OK "$9  ($8 Drive)"
 
	Push $0
FunctionEnd

Example3 (Get type of drive):

Section
	StrCpy $R0 "D:\"      ;Drive letter
	StrCpy $R1 "invalid"
 
	${GetDrives} "ALL" "Example3"
 
	MessageBox MB_OK "Type of drive $R0 is $R1"
SectionEnd
 
Function Example3
	StrCmp $9 $R0 0 +3
	StrCpy $R1 $8
	StrCpy $0 StopGetDrives
 
	Push $0
FunctionEnd
