How to get the list of removable disk in c#?

You will need to reference System.IO for this method.

var driveList = DriveInfo.GetDrives();

foreach (DriveInfo drive in driveList)
{
    if (drive .DriveType == DriveType.Removable)
    {
    //Add to RemovableDrive list or whatever activity you want
    }    
}

Or for the LINQ fans:

var driveList = DriveInfo.GetDrives().Where(d => d.DriveType == DriveType.Removable);

As for the Saving part, as far as I know I don't think you can restrict where the user is allowed to save to using a SaveFileDialog, but you could complete a check after you have shown the SaveFileDialog.

if(saveFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
  if (CheckFilePathIsOfRemovableDisk(saveFileDialog.FileName) == true)
  {
  //carry on with save
  }
  else
  {
  MessageBox.Show("Must save to Removable Disk, location was not valid");
  }
}

OR

The best option would be to create your own Save Dialog, which contains a tree view, only showing the removable drives and their contents for the user to save to! I would recommend this option.

Hope this helps

How about:

var removableDrives = from d in System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives()
                      where d.DriveType == DriveType.Removable;

You can also use WMI to get the list of removable drives.

ManagementObjectCollection drives = new ManagementObjectSearcher (
     "SELECT Caption, DeviceID FROM Win32_DiskDrive WHERE InterfaceType='USB'"
).Get();

Edited based on comment:

After you get the list of drives get there GUID's and add them to SaveFileDialogInstance.CustomPlaces collection.

The code below need some tweaking...

System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog dls = new System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog();
dls.CustomPlaces.Clear();
dls.CustomPlaces.Add(AddGuidOfTheExternalDriveOneByOne);
....
....
dls.ShowDialog();
