There are *many* packages that do this. The broad category is called
"image management software," and capabilities range from simple
inventory of a single hard disk to complex systems to manage offline
data on multiple disks, networks, and removable media.

at your favorite software resource site and I'm betting you'll
be pleasantly surprised. :-)
Hope this helps.
