3It depends what you mean by the "main drive". It sounds like you actually want to check the permissions. – SLaks Jul 19 '15 at 19:36

To write to the root directory of the drive and if it's the main drive then write it to AppData – trinalbadger587 Jul 19 '15 at 19:48

You could use string path = Path.GetPathRoot(Environment.SystemDirectory); and than check agains the drive name, like C:\ or D:\, ...
