#34557 - 2002-12-19 06:53 PM Check for Floppy Disk in Drive
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Hello, I am using the 16 bit version of kix to build my nt4 and w2k unattend.txt files. I am checking to see if the user ejected the floppy from the drive. The script below works only when the floppy is in the drive, once the floppy is removed I get an error reading drive a: abort, retry, fail. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -Brian code: ? "Please remove floppy and press any key to continue..." get $null while (exist("a:\.") = 0) ? "Please remove floppy and press any key to continue..." get $null loop

Sorry, but not everyone on the board is that old... And since this is a KiXtart board, some don't venture too much beyond KiXtart help. Oh Well, give something like this a try. code: @echo off IF EXIST a:\NUL echo found something in the A drive I assume you know how to run this from KiX, if not post or look in the FAQ and I'll show you how.
