determine a drive letter is being used

Hi,

Can someone advice how can I determine a specific drive letter is being
used in the OS using vbscript?

Thanks

Have a look at the DriveExists method of the FileSystemObject. You can find
full details and an example in the downloadable help file "script56.chm".

You're welcome. Having the help file script56.chm at your fingertips will
probably give you an instant answer to many future questions. When you get
involved with advanced subjects then the Scripting Guy's help file would be
a valuable resource to use:
