Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have asked the question previously in <br />
<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21772126/How-to-verify-user-entered-drive-letter.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21772126/How-to-verify-user-entered-drive-letter.html</a><br />
<br />
However, I am looking for something simple to check if the drive is there and writable. &nbsp;What I need to do is to copy few files to a user supplied floppy or USB or any mapped drives. &nbsp;I need to check quickly if the drive is valid before trying to copy the files.<br />
<br />
What is the better way to do this.

How to check if user entered the right drive

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
