|    How to Test Whether a Drive Exists    |
|    05 Jun 20 19:04:34    |
      From: pmokover@gmail.com              How can I test in a batch file whether an external USB drive does not exist       because: 1) it’s not currently connected to the PC or 2) it is connected but       it’s locked by a program such as BitLocker (in Windows 10)?              If I use the usual “if not exist d:” line it will say the drive does not       exist in either case above. How can I distinguish between 1) the drive is not       connected or 2) the drive is connected but it’s locked?              FYI, when a drive is locked by Bitlocker it will still be listed in Windows       Explorer however “if exist” will say that it does not exist.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
