This would be a lot better in 1.2, but this should work in 1.0+
public class FileRoot {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          File f = new File(args[0]);
          File root = getRootOfDrive(new File(f.getAbsolutePath()));
          System.out.println("The Root is:"+root);
     private static File getRootOfDrive(File f) {
          String parent = f.getParent();
          System.out.println(parent);
          return (parent == null)? f : getRootOfDrive(new File(parent));
}
