Answer 1

Much of the information you need, you can get from the ManagementObjectSearcher-class.

Like this

ManagementObjectSearcher s = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk"); 

s.Get().Cast<ManagementObject>().Select(obj => new {
    obj.Path,
    Properties = obj.Properties.Cast<PropertyData>().Select (pd => new { pd.Name, pd.Value }),
    IsOk = (obj.Properties["Status"] != null ? obj.Properties["Status"].Value : "")
});

That would give you an IEnumerable<> of the anonymous type, which contains the properties of all disks your computer has.
