IsReady Property

12/04/2006

Returns True if the specified drive is ready; False if it is not.


object.IsReady

Remarks

The object is always a Drive object.

For removable-media drives and CD-ROM drives, IsReady returns True only when the appropriate media is inserted and ready for access.

The following code illustrates the use of the IsReady property:

function ShowDriveInfo(drvpath)

{

   var fso, d, s, t;

   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   d = fso.GetDrive(drvpath)

   switch (d.DriveType)

   {

      case 0: t = "Unknown"; break;

      case 1: t = "Removable"; break;

      case 2: t = "Fixed"; break;

      case 3: t = "Network"; break;

      case 4: t = "CD-ROM"; break;

      case 5: t = "RAM Disk"; break;

   }

   s = "Drive " + d.DriveLetter + ": - " + t;

   if (d.IsReady)

      s += "<br>" + "Drive is Ready.";

   else

      s += "<br>" + "Drive is not Ready.";

   return(s);

}

Function ShowDriveInfo(drvpath)

   Dim fso, d, s, t

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Set d = fso.GetDrive(drvpath)

   Select Case d.DriveType

      Case 0: t = "Unknown"

      Case 1: t = "Removable"

      Case 2: t = "Fixed"

      Case 3: t = "Network"

      Case 4: t = "CD-ROM"

      Case 5: t = "RAM Disk"

   End Select

   s = "Drive " & d.DriveLetter & ": - " & t

   If d.IsReady Then 

      s = s & "<BR>" & "Drive is Ready."

   Else

      s = s & "<BR>" & "Drive is not Ready."

   End If

   ShowDriveInfo = s

End Function
