Regarding the Windows platform, is their an event I can look for to tell when a USB drive or any type of portable media us plugged in?

You won't get such notifications without first registering for them. Use RegisterDeviceNotification() to do that.

After you have registered your window to receive such notifications, handle the WM_DEVICECHANGE message.
