You have to do some work.

:new
:r !wmic logicaldisk get deviceid
:1,2d
:%s/\s\+$//e
:let drives = getline(1,'$')
:echo drives

Select the above text and yank it (type yip).
Then type :@" to execute the yanked text.

The result is that a variable named drives is a list of the
drive letters, for example:

:echo drives
['C:', 'D:', 'E:']
