    You could also call the usual command line applications mkfs.* via QProcess.

        Or you could just take the same approach that the above mentioned applications took and use libparted directly.

        Here is a tutorial for libparted Note: example's may need to be justed to fit the current api.

        LibParted Handbook "Note: LibParted is a library used to create, destroy, resize and copy PC disk partitions"
        http://zester.googlecode.com/files/libparted_handbook.pdf

        Here is the libparted API reference

        http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/api/

        And if you want to work directly with just CD/DVD drives

        http://libburnia-project.org/

            I forgot to mention that libparted is a bit on the lowlevel side so for getting disk information you might want to
            use QtMobility http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.1.3/systeminfo.html with libparted. If thats the approach
            that you decide to take.

              Hmm.. But mobility classes are only for mobile platforms?

                Nope. QtMobility has some features for all platforms mobile and desktop.

                  No you can use them on a regular desktop also. There are some classes/functions that might not make sense for the desktop like the tilt sensor API but it might be relevant for a tablet.

                    bq. QtMobility has some features for all platforms mobile and desktop.
                    I didn't know that because i'm on desktop only until now. That's good news.

                    Is there a web page/link where we can see a list of the goodies available for desktop?
                    Or how can we determine (without prior qtmobility knowledge) which ones are accesible for desktop?

                      One could use the
                      @
                      QFSFileEngine::drives ()
                      or
                      QDir::drives ()
                      @

                      I'm not sure how much of mobility is supported on the desktop. It is still quite early for that kind of support. I may be wrong though. But, for example, the Camera API doesn't use the webcam on desktop.

                        Actually you just might be wrong there I do know that the QtMobility Multimedia Library has been moved to
                        to Qt 4.8 I think and if I am not mistaken there is a webcam api in there. I will have to test that on my system.

                          In that case.. my bad, still with 4.7.3/4 here :P, working on the official SDK 1.1 for deploying to OVI store.
