On windows with the win32 extensions, you might try this:

# Get hard drive info from Windows.
drive = win32api.GetDiskFreeSpace('c:')
print drive[0], "sectors per cluster."
print drive[1], "bytes per sector."
print drive[2], "free clusters."
print drive[3], "total clusters."

You could use wmi to discover where the device has been mounted:
for item in c.Win32_DiskDrive():
     print item

instance of Win32_DiskDrive
{
         BytesPerSector = 512;
         Capabilities = {3, 4, 7};
         Caption = "M-SysT5 Dell Memory Key USB Device";
         ConfigManagerErrorCode = 0;
         ConfigManagerUserConfig = FALSE;
         CreationClassName = "Win32_DiskDrive";
         Description = "Disk drive";
         DeviceID = "\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE1";
         Index = 1;
         InterfaceType = "USB";
         Manufacturer = "(Standard disk drives)";
         MediaLoaded = TRUE;
         MediaType = "Removable media other than\tfloppy";
         Model = "M-SysT5 Dell Memory Key USB Device";
         Name = "\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE1";
         Partitions = 1;
         PNPDeviceID =
"USBSTOR\\DISK&VEN_M-SYST5&PROD_DELL_MEMORY_KEY&REV_5.00\\09809350C300C9D7&0";
         SectorsPerTrack = 63;
         Signature = 2865277640;
         Size = "254983680";
         Status = "OK";
