DriveExists Method 

Returns True if the specified drive exists; False if it does not.

object.DriveExists(drivespec) 

Arguments

• object
  Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

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

Remarks

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.

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);

}

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
