Make reference to: Microsoft Scripting Runtime

Then add a ListBox to the project
Now add this code to the project:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Call Check
End Sub

Private Sub SysInfo1_DeviceArrival(ByVal DeviceType As Long, ByVal DeviceID As Long, ByVal DeviceName As String, ByVal DeviceData As Long)
Call Check
End Sub

Private Sub SysInfo1_DeviceRemoveComplete(ByVal DeviceType As Long, ByVal DeviceID As Long, ByVal DeviceName As String, ByVal DeviceData As Long)
Call Check
End Sub

Sub Check()
Dim FSO As New Scripting.FileSystemObject, drv As Scripting.Drive
List1.Clear
For Each drv In FSO.Drives
If drv.IsReady Then
If drv.DriveType = Removable Then
List1.AddItem drv.DriveLetter & ":"
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
