IsReady Property

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change]

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

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:

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);
}
