SYMPTOMS
GetLogicalDrives() returns a bitmask that indicates that drive B is an
available drive present on the system, even though there is no physical
drive B.
CAUSE
Drive B is a ghosted drive, so you can use it even if it does not exist.
This is useful for performing a diskcopy.
RESOLUTION
Use GetDriveType() to determine whether drive B: is present as a physical
device.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
