Lists all the drives present in Windows using java

The listRoots method of File class is used for finding out all the drives available in Windows.

import java.io.File;
/**
 * File class examples.
 *
 */
public class FileExample  {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		// Get all the drives
		File drives[] = File.listRoots();

		// Loop through the drive list and display the drives.
		for (int index = 0; index < drives.length; index++) {
			System.out.println(drives[index]);
		}
	}
}

Note: Since Linux does not have any drives concept, the output of the above program in Linux operating system will be "/"
