The strange thing is that if I close then restart TC the drive list doesn't change! So, I think, it's not a problem of WM_DEVICECHANGE message.
For what I can see the "insert notification" is enabled.
Drive buttons don't properly detect changes

If the drive list doesn't change, then GetDriveType still reports the drive as being there. The Explorer probably uses a different Windows function to check whether a drive is there or not...

I written a small program to test this and can confirm that the problem is not in TC but in Windows!ghisler(Author) wrote:If the drive list doesn't change, then GetDriveType still reports the drive as being there.

The GetDriveType function is reporting drives that are already dismounted.
Thanks for your support

Any idea what else could be used to detect the drives?

GetLogicalDrives in conjunction with GetDriveType, perhaps?ghisler(Author) wrote:Any idea what else could be used to detect the drives?
(Unless the focus should be on detecting a removable media drive type without inserted media, in which case StackOverflow might help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3158054/how-to-detect-if-media-is-inserted-into-a-removable-drive-card-reader - i leave the cost/benefit calculation in your capable hands
