Drive Type

Question

Hello,
While listing the drives, I need not to list the ones that are read-only or not writable by nature, like optical ones, just 3 questions about 3 of them:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.drivetype?view=net-6.0

NoRootDirectory, guess it's unformulated drives, so can't write to them at all, right?

Ram, can a ram drive to be read-only?

Unknown, what are possibilities? and how do you guys react with this?

Thanks for sharing the info :)

Answer 1

Hi @OSVBNET ,

1. NoRootDirectory meams "This drive letter is unused". All not found drives have the type DriveType.NoRootDirectory.
2. No.
3. One possible cause: The drive is damaged.
   Best Regards.
