{
  Some applications need to know when the user inserts or
  removes a compact disc or DVD from a CD-ROM drive without
  polling for media changes. Windows provide a way to notify these
  applications through the WM_DEVICECHANGE message.
}

TForm1 = class(TForm)

    procedure 
WMDeviceChange(var Msg: TMessage); message WM_DEVICECHANGE;

// Advanced Code:

// information, namely specific information about a logical volume.
