Getting logical drives

Question

I use the following code to get logical drives:

string[] strDrives = Environment.GetLogicalDrives();

but when I want to iterate through it, an exception occurs, with the message:

Drive Not Ready

How can I get just ready drives?

Answer 1

Use DriveInfo to determine if the drive is ready.

foreach (var oneDrive in strDrives)
{
    var drive = new DriveInfo(oneDrive)
    if (drive.IsReady) 
    {
       // Do something with the drive...
    }
}
