Check type of CD-R

[mingis]

Hi,
In my C++ program I want to check some properties of disk inserted in my CD-ROM (CD writer) drive - manufacturer name, disk type (CD, CD-R, CD-R/W) etc. What API should I start to search? Perhaps I need to access some additional features of CD-ROM device driver? How can I interact directly with Windows device driver then?
Thanks.

Hi
GetDriveType() function finds the drive type whether it is CD or not and _access() used find its writable or not.
