You don't say if you're on 6, 7, or 8 (just "CFMX"). You may have a few
choices.
Since you're on Windows, you can use CF's integration with COM. In fact,
there's a specific page in the CF docs showing how to do what seems just
what you want:
"Using the FileSystem object"
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00001584.htm
There is likely also a way to get it using integration with Java.
BTW, I didn't remember this (though I recalled seeing something about this
in the past, and knew it would have something to do with either COM or Java
objects). Instead, I found it via a google search for:
cfobject drive letters
Could have also done createobject instead of CFOBJECT (or both using
Related to the page above on using come, if COM perfomrance is a concern,
you may want to check out this:

I'll point out also that the CFLIb.org site has a library related to
filesystem operations (http://www.cflib.org/library.cfm?ID=8), though none
seems to do exactly what you want.
Finally, the search also turned up that in CF8 you can do it using this code

Subject: [houcfug] Find list of drive letters?
Hiya, folks -- is there a way to find a list of drive letters via CFMX on a
server running Windows, the way the tag CFDirectory finds a list of files? I
don't care about mapped drives -- I'm just curious about local drives.
Thanks,
