Syntax: VBScript Drive Object IsReady Property

object.IsReady

Arguments: VBScript Drive Object IsReady Property

object

A Drive object.

Remarks: VBScript Drive Object IsReady Property

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

The following code illustrates the use of the IsReady property:

Sub ShowDriveInfo(drvpath)

Dim fs, d, s, t

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set d = fs.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 & vbCrLf & "Drive is Ready."

Else

s = s & vbCrLf & "Drive is not Ready."

End If

Response.Write s

End Sub

Under UNIX, the IsReady property is always True.
