You can do this with WMI [*] under Windows:

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
for i in c.Win32_LogicalDisk ():
 print i.Caption

</code>

If you want only fixed disks (ie exluding external drives,
USB and CD drives etc) then specify DriveType=3:

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
for i in c.Win32_LogicalDisk (DriveType=3):
 print i.Caption

</code>
