I guess you want all of the connected drive letters? You will also want to make sure they are accessible:

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
		Dim drives As System.IO.DriveInfo() = System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives()
		For Each drive In drives
			Console.WriteLine(drive.RootDirectory.FullName)
		Next
	End Sub

Thanks buddy !
