Error 71-Disk not ready ...Please help

[payal25]

Hi everyone

I'm getting an error "Disk not ready ". related to scrrun.dll

I get this error when i try to access the pen drive through a VB 6.0 application.
I'm using File System Object to access the drive.

The code is as follows:

Set fso = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")
For Each drv In fso.Drives
With drv
strDriverType = .FileSystem
End With
Next
Msgbox strDriverType

Error 71 is generated when the application tries to get the ".Filesyste m"

Thank you

Is it just the .FileSystem property that doesn't work? What about .DriveType or .ShareName? If the drive isn't ready yet you could code in a delay possibly before you try to retrieve drive attributes using the Sleep feature or timer.

Hi,

Yes, you will get that error, thats because, First Drive is "A"
and accessing any properties of "A" (Floppy drive) without Floppy in it results in error..
