Question:
I’m trying to get a list of drive letters in a drop-down menu. I’m currently using the code below and it works just fine in Windows 10, but doesn’t work at all in Windows 7.
|
1 2 3 |
$Drive_Letters = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk ForEach ($Drives in $Drive_Letters.DeviceID) { $Dest_Drive_Box.Items.Add($Drives) } |
In Win 7 I tried adjusting the code to this…
|
1 2 3 |
$Drive_Letters = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk | Select-Object DeviceID ForEach ($Drives in $Drive_Letters) { $Dest_Drive_Box.Items.Add($Drives) } |
But now it shows “@DeviceID=C:}”, “@DeviceID=D:}”, etc. in Win 7 and 10 for each drive letter. I need to just show “C:”, “D:”, etc.
Thanks!

Get-PSDrive |
This will return all drives mapped in the current session. The
Name property contains the drive letter.
To capture just drive letters:
