Try Directory.GetLogicalDrives()

The following code worked for me in Unity:

string[] drives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives();
foreach (string drive in drives)
    Debug.Log(drive);

This only gets drive letters, and not the types. Has anyone found a good way to determine if the drive is CDRom, removable etc?

I can find no way to get the list of all available drives directly in a script with Unity 3.1.

Either Mono has not implemented DriveInfo's functionality or Unity has explicitly overridden it to provide that error message. Whatever the reason, users are prevented from being able to do this as you have found.

The only workaround that I can think of at present is to wrap that functionality into a plug-in (Pro/mobile only) and then call the function from there.
