DriveExists Method


object.DriveExists(drivespec)

object: Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

drivespec: Required. A drive letter or a complete path specification.

For drives with removable media, the DriveExists method returns true even if there are no media present. Use the IsReady property of the Drive object to determine if a drive is ready.

The following example illustrates the use of the DriveExists method.

JScript	Copy Code
function ReportDriveStatus(drv) { var fso, s = ""; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); if (fso.DriveExists(drv)) s += "Drive " + drv + " exists."; else s += "Drive " + drv + " doesn't exist."; return(s); }

Copy Code

function ReportDriveStatus(drv)
{
   var fso, s = "";
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   if (fso.DriveExists(drv))
      s += "Drive " + drv + " exists.";
   else 
      s += "Drive " + drv + " doesn't exist.";
   return(s);
}

Visual Basic Script	Copy Code
Function ReportDriveStatus(drv) Dim fso, msg Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If fso.DriveExists(drv) Then msg = ("Drive " & UCase(drv) & " exists.") Else msg = ("Drive " & UCase(drv) & " doesn't exist.") End If ReportDriveStatus = msg End Function

Visual Basic Script

   End If
   ReportDriveStatus = msg
End Function
