However, I haven't figured out what that correlation is, nor can I find an API call to get this information. Disk Manager seems to be able to figure this out, though, so there's got to be a way to do it.

Yep, but how to filter the junk under this registry key... (I mean there is left information about drives that I had in the past, but have now disconnected them)
Also - this key is not found in Windows NT 4.0 (both Server and Workstation) SP6a and under Windows 9x/ME
