Further to my previous comments, I think the solution is rather simple. Just
try changing the volume label (after reading it first so that it can be
restored). If this succeeds, presumbly the disk is a CDRW (packet drive).
Whilst looking at this problem, I also notice that GetVolumeInformation can
be used to test if a drive is formatted for compression (NT/2000/XP).
Perhaps, if so formatted, a warning should be given before storing zip data
on it.
