Description

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 DVD 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 fs, d, s, t;
 fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 d = fs.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.";
 }
 Response.Write(s);
}
