There are functions in the Win32 API for discovering this info. It used to
be
easier in older versions of Windows because disk partitions were mapped
to drive letters. A program would get a list of valid drive letters and
ask whether they were fixed, floppy, CD or remote (network share).

In W2K3 MS finally caught up with ***x and you can mount/unmount a
volume on a drive letter or at any point on an existing filesystem
hierarchy.
e.g. you could create a partition on a disk or LUN and mount it at letter L:
or at C:\Data.

There is a set of API calls to enumerate volumes, paths and mountpoints:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/volume_management_functions.asp

And there is the "diskpart" CLI command for interactive or scripted work.

I don't know whether the latest NW client code uses this functionality
and treats mounted volumes any differently from drive letters.

But how is this translation done?  Is there a file somewhere that lists
out the file systems?  Is there a registry key?

Thanks.

Basically all fixed drives on windows + some extra savesets for registry
and
other internal windows stuff. Depending on the version of the client and
the
version of windows.
