IsReady property

  • Article

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

Syntax

object.IsReady

The object is always a Drive object.

Remarks

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.

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
    MsgBox s
End Sub
