Hi again,
and again a strange problem occured programming Win32API:
I usually use GetVolumeInformation to retrieve the name of a drive installed on a windows-system.
Testing my software under Win2000 I came across a strange problem. All drive-names could be retrieved except of the name of the only partition on the system, which has a NTFS-filesystem. All other partitions have FAT32-format and report their names correctly. for the NTFS-Partition I get a empty string.
Maybe this is again one of microsofts bad jokes. maybe I did something wrong.
my question is: did anybody else stumble over this behaviour. does anyboy know the trick how to retrieve the NTFS-drivename too ?
I would appreciate any help.
thanx in advance
