You can use the SerialNumber property to ensure that the correct disk is inserted in a drive with removable media.

The following code illustrates the use of the SerialNumber property:

function ShowDriveInfo(drvpath)

{

var fs, d, s, t;

fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

d = fs.GetDrive(fs.GetDriveName(fs.GetAbsolutepathname(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;

s += "<br>" + "SN: " + d.SerialNumber;

Response.Write(s);

}
