The data is separated by NUL bytes. Split it with \x00 and you'll get a
list of drives:
>>
"A:\\\x00C:\\\x00D:\\\x00G:\\\x00I:\\\x00L:\\\x00P:\\\x00Q:\\\x00R:\\\x00U:\\\x00X:\\\x00Y:\\\x00Z:\\\x00".split("\x00")
['A:\\', 'C:\\', 'D:\\', 'G:\\', 'I:\\', 'L:\\', 'P:\\', 'Q:\\', 'R:\\',
'U:\\', 'X:\\', 'Y:\\', 'Z:\\', '']
