Description

Returns a Drives collection consisting of all Drive objects available on the local machine.

Syntax

object.Drives

The object is always a FileSystemObject.

Remarks

Removable-media drives need not have media inserted for them to appear in the Drives collection.

You can iterate the members of the Drives collection using the Enumerator object and the for statement:

function ShowDriveList()
{
  var fso, s, n, e, x;
  fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
  e = new Enumerator(fso.Drives);
  s = "";
  for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
  {
    x = e.item();
    s = s + x.DriveLetter;
    s += " - ";
    if (x.DriveType == 3)
      n = x.ShareName;
    else if (x.IsReady)
      n = x.VolumeName;
    else
      n = "[Drive not ready]";
    s +=  n + "<br>";
  }
  return(s);
}
