Answer 1

Ok i was also googling around for answers, here is snippet that works:

def locate_usb():
import win32file
drive_list = []
drivebits=win32file.GetLogicalDrives()
for d in range(1,26):
    mask=1 << d
    if drivebits & mask:
        # here if the drive is at least there
        drname='%c:\\' % chr(ord('A')+d)
        t=win32file.GetDriveType(drname)
        if t == win32file.DRIVE_REMOVABLE:
            drive_list.append(drname)
return drive_list
