Always check the API :

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html

	File f = new File("/");
	File[] fs = f.listRoots();
	for (int i = 0; i < fs.length; i++) {
		System.err.println(fs[i]);
	}

hello sedj,
thank you for the help. i have tried it. it works. but i still have one more problem, how do it convert it to string. because the data type File. I can't convert it to string. is there anyway to do it?

Use the toString() method in File.

how do I do it? I have tried it but I'm getting an error.

String myStr = "";

File f = new File("/");
File[] fs = f.listRoots();
for (int i = 0; i < fs.length; i++) {
System.err.println(fs);
}
myStr = fs[0].toString();
System.println(myStr);


what's wrong with my code?

 

[sedj]

		File f = new File("/");
		File[] fs = f.listRoots();
		for (int i = 0; i < fs.length; i++) {
			String fileString = fs[i].toString();
			System.err.println(fileString);
		}
