Finding information about a user's hardware

You'll have to write your own lib, here's a start:-

DriveInfo DLL C++ Source (Built with VC++7)

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define BBDECL extern "C" _declspec(dllexport)
#define BBCALL _stdcall

//DriveInfo Definitions
#define FILESYSNAMEBUFSIZE		1024 
#define VOLUMENAMEBUFSIZE		1024
#define INFO_TYPE_VOLUME_NAME	0
#define INFO_TYPE_SYSTEM_NAME	1
#define INFO_TYPE_SERIEL		2

/*DriveInfo returns one of three 
drive properties(Example is in Blitz+):-

	DriveInfo$(root$,0) returns the volume name
	DriveInfo$(root$,1) returns the file system name (e.g. FAT32/NTFS)
	Hex$(DriveInfo$(root$,2)) returns the drive seriel number
*/
BBDECL char * BBCALL DriveInfo( const char * Buf, int infoType)
{
DWORD dwSysFlags; 
	char FileSysNameBuf[FILESYSNAMEBUFSIZE];
	char VolumeNameBuf[FILESYSNAMEBUFSIZE];
	DWORD serial;
	char strSeriel[255];

	GetVolumeInformation( Buf, VolumeNameBuf, VOLUMENAMEBUFSIZE, &serial, NULL,
                        &dwSysFlags, FileSysNameBuf, 
                        FILESYSNAMEBUFSIZE);
	if (infoType == INFO_TYPE_VOLUME_NAME)
	{
		return(VolumeNameBuf);
	}

	if (infoType == INFO_TYPE_SYSTEM_NAME)
	{
		return(FileSysNameBuf);
	}

	if (infoType == INFO_TYPE_SERIEL)
	{
		_itoa(serial,strSeriel,10);
		return(strSeriel);
	}
	return("Unknown");
}

/* Declaration file contents

.lib "lib.dll"
DriveInfo$(rootPath$,type%):"_DriveInfo@8"
*/

You could also check how many drives is on the system, and what type they are using these:-

;GetDriveType return codes
;Removable/fixed and CDROM are implemented in this file, if you
;need anything else, build new functions with these codes
Const DRIVE_UNKNOWN     = 0
Const DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR = 1
Const DRIVE_REMOVABLE   = 2
Const DRIVE_FIXED       = 3
Const DRIVE_REMOTE      = 4
Const DRIVE_CDROM       = 5
Const DRIVE_RAMDISK     = 6

Function IsDriveRemovable(rootPath$)
	If GetDriveType(rootPath$) = DRIVE_REMOVABLE
		Return(True)
	Else
		Return(False)
	End If
End Function

Function IsDriveFixed(rootPath$)
	If GetDriveType(rootPath$) = DRIVE_FIXED
		Return(True)
	Else
		Return(False)
	End If
End Function

Function IsDriveCDROM(rootPath$)
	If GetDriveType(rootPath$) = DRIVE_CDROM
		Return(True)
	Else
		Return(False)
	End If
End Function


;------ This function may take some explaining ------
Function GetDrives$(logicalSeperatorChar$)
	LogicalDrivesOnSystemBank = CreateBank(254)
	SizeOfLogicalDrivesBuffer = GetDriveStr(255,LogicalDrivesOnSystemBank)
	For n = 0 To SizeOfLogicalDrivesBuffer-1
		char = PeekByte(LogicalDrivesOnSystemBank,n)
		If char = 0
			char = Asc(logicalSeperatorChar$)
		End If
		allLogicalDrivesOnSystem$ = allLogicalDrivesOnSystem$ + Chr$(char)
	Next
	Return allLogicalDrivesOnSystem$
End Function

;The [logicalSeperatorChar$] parameter is a character that
;seperates each drive in the returned string, for example, if you
;call the GetDrives$ function like this:-
;
;		drives$ = GetDrives$("|")
;
;The returned string may look a little like this:-
;
;		"A:\|C:\|D:\|E:\|F:\|H:\|I:\|"
;
;So you can then use your defined character (which is '|') to chop
;the string up into different drives, sort of like this:-

;[example code]
;		Include "C:\BPinc\Windows.bbh" ;File that contains the GetDrives$ function
;
;		Const DRIVES_MAX = 99
;
;		Dim AvailableDrives$(DRIVES_MAX)
;
;		drives$ = GetDrives("|")
;
;		For loop = 0 To Len(drives$)
;			char$ = Mid$(drives$,loop,1)
;			If char$ <> "|"
;				tempDrive$ = tempDrive$ + char$
;			Else
;				AvailableDrives$(driveCount) = tempDrive$
;				driveCount = driveCount + 1
;				tempDrive$ = ""
;			End If
;		Next
;
;		For n = 0 To driveCount-1
;			Print AvailableDrives$(n)
;		Next

;		WaitKey
;
;
;
; DECLS FILE CONTENTS
;.lib "Kernel32.dll"
;GetDriveStr%(bufferLen%,buffer*):"GetLogicalDriveStringsA"
;GetDriveType%(rootPath$):"GetDriveTypeA"

There is a load more in WinAPI, not sure about drivers... I've never played with them yet! :)

Anyway, I hope this helps
