How to retrieve additional information about roots?

Question

Excuse me for my little english..
I have used the method "listRoots" of java.io.File class for get drive list on my system (Windows).
Now, I need to obtain the device type for each root (for example floppy, cd-rom , hard disk, etc.).
Can I do this, without using native interface?
thank you so much,

Heres some code that I have. This might be what your looking for. getSystemDisplayName will
display what jfilechooser displays.
int idx = 0;
FileSystemView fs = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView ();
File flist[] = File.listRoots();
for (idx = 0; idx < flist.length; ++idx)
System.out.println ("file: " + flist[idx].getAbsolutePath() + " - " + fs.getSystemDisplayName(flist[idx]));
}
