What Bart means, I think, is that something like this may crash:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. type
2.   TDriveType = (dtUnknown, dtNoRootDir, dtRemovable, dtFixed, dtRemote, dtCdrom, dtRamDisk);
3.  
4. function GetDriveType(ADrive: Char): TDriveType;
5. var
6.   WinDriveType: UInt;
7. begin
8.   WinDriveType := Windows.GetDriveType(PChar(LowerCase(ADrive+':\')));
9.   Result := TDriveType(WinDriveType)
10. end;

Of course, ona may avoid the crash by using instead something like:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. type
2.   TDriveType = (dtUnknown, dtNoRootDir, dtRemovable, dtFixed, dtRemote, dtCdrom, dtRamDisk, dtUnrecognized);
3.  
4. const
5.   KnownDriveTypes = [dtUnknow..dtRamDisk];
6.  
7. function GetDriveType(ADrive: Char): TDriveType;
8. var
9.   WinDriveType: UInt;
10. begin
11.   WinDriveType := Windows.GetDriveType(PChar(LowerCase(ADrive+':\')));
12.   if WinDriveType in KnownDriveTypes then
13.     Result := TDriveType(WinDriveType)
14.   else
15.     Result := dtUnrecognized;
16. end;

ETA: I'm too slow.
And yes, we're going OT very fast...

That seems to be the one thing we all agree on   .. maybe it's time to drift into another thread ;-)

ETA: I'm too slow.

What does ETA mean (I know it as estimated time of arrivel or a separatistic movement in Spain, neither of which you mean I guess)?

Even further OT but as a Spaniard I can't avoid to comment: ETA is a terrorist organization not a separatist movement.

A "separatist movement" is what the Catalonians are trying to do

You're probably not Basque... but, Catalan maybe ?

Nope, from Madrid. But I do have family from (an in) almost everywhere: Castilla, Andalusia, Catalonia, Galizia, Euskadi, ... If Spain is a cauldron of races, then Madrid is where it boiled (and boils!) harder and faster

But this is now wildly off-topic, so let's move on
