Windows 7 - Detect flash or hard drive from bat file

System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1

In a bat file I want to detect if a drive is connected to a USB port AND if the drive is a flash drive or hard drive. I cannot use 'fsutil' since this requires the account to be in the Administrator group which cannot be done in Windows 7 Home Premium. Any other ideas?

If you google around there's a vbs (visual basic scripts) that people have wrote that do this. I was looking for the ones I was trying out and can't find them this minute.
