This works for me on XP but I think on some platforms there may be a
problem if a drive has no media in it.

  for i as Integer = 0 to VolumeCount -1
    if Volume(i).IsWriteable then
      MsgBox Volume(i).Name + " is writeable"
    else
      MsgBox Volume(i).Name + " is no help"
    end if
  next
