To get disk info in windows 2000

Hi all,

In Windows NT, the disk information can be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DISK. But, this registry subkey is not present in Windows 2000 professional.

I found some info in google that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DISK can be populated in Windows 2000 by running windisk.exe. But, this subkey was not populated even after runnning windisk.exe.

I would like to know the following:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DISK does not exist in Windows 2000 professional?

2. What is the substitute for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DISK in Windows 2000?

3. Is there any other registry subkey that can provide me with the disk information in Windows 2000?

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

I think because of dynamic volumes this was updated. What are you trying to do? The Logical Disk Manager is pretty powerful, you might not need the registry to get your info.

I need to know about the registry keys itself coz I need to use that registry key in my code.

ahhhh, a programmer. I'm not sure exactly but hopefully someone here can help you!
