That's what Mayayana suggested, but won't work for what I'm trying to 
do. I need some way to associate a Drive letter to a disk found via WMI 
Win32_DiskDrive. This class returns the Model info as listed in the 
Hardware list of a properties dialog. What I need is a way to get a 
path from a selected drive list of only drives with InterfaceType 
"USB".

Is there a WMI class that lists hardware Model AND specifies its drive 
letter (if a drive)?
