What do you exactly want? Show any USB mass storage device attached via
USB, even if it is not recognized (yet) from Windows, or show only the
fully operational USB devices?

If you want just the later, I think this should be able without
libusb-win32, with the Windows API (but I may be wrong).

I would start here:
http://www.owad.de/check.php4?id=1839&choice=3&sid=1137029

and look up especially GetDriverType() and GetVolumeInformation().

You might also have a look if you find any information in the links on
http://www.lvr.com/mass_storage.htm (section "Hosts", then "Windows
specific").

Also the FAQ here might help you:
http://www.lvr.com/mass_storage_faq.htm, as well as
http://www.codeproject.com/w2k/usbdisks.asp.

Especially the later seems to be a good candidate.

HTH,
