The following code
> $wmi = Get-WmiObject ?class Win32_Volume ?filter "name = 'c:'"

does not work on my Vista SP2
Unfortunately it was the first example I tried!! :(

I was able to get it to work using
> $wmi = Get-WmiObject ?class Win32_Volume ?filter "name = 'c:\\'"

or

> $wmi = Get-WmiObject ?class Win32_Volume ?filter "driveletter = 'c:'"

Regards,
Michael.
