Yes, you can create a File object for, say, the root directory. Then
use the File's list() method to get the files in that directory.
Then you can go through each of the files and recursively get the
files in them if isDirectory() returns true.
If you make Swing DefautlMutableTreeNode's out of the files and
directories,
you can replicate the drive's file structure.
