 According to the help, the StatusInfo property
of Win32_DiskDrive is read-only. I don't see any
properties that are R/W other than setting a
volume name. Why not just save a file to the
root folder?

| I'm looking for a VB solution to put a value into a logical drive's
| StatusInfo property. I've tried using FSO but can't seem to be able to
| make it work due to not having any info for proper syntax to write.
| (Never did this before; just read only)
|
| What I'm trying to do is place a temporary 'tag' on a specific drive so
| I can query the value via WMI Win32_DiskDrive.
|
| Any help/direction would be most appreciated.
