VBScript » Objects » Drives Collection

Version: 3.0

The Drives collection is the collection of all the disk drives available on the system. This collection is obtained through the Drives property of the FileSystemObject object.

Examples

Code:
<%
Dim filesys, drv, drvcoll, drvlist, vol
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set drvcoll = filesys.Drives
For Each drv in drvcoll
drvlist = drvlist drv.DriveLetter
If drv.IsReady Then
vol = drv.VolumeName
End If
drvlist = drvlist vol ", "
Next
Response.Write "Drives available on this system are " drvlist
%>
Output:
"Drives available on this system are A, C, D, E,"
Explanation:

This code gets the Drives collection, creates a list of available drives and displays the results in the browser.
