Richard,
It sounds to me like you are running into the same basic problems that
another user was a while back. I posted the following solution which
avoids the errors with locating files on Windows while avoiding disk
errors and system dialogs...
-- Snip --
My solution to the same problem is to check for a volume serial number
first, then if there is one, check for the file I'm looking for. You
can do this with the following function...
function GetVolumeSN pDiskLetter
local volumeSerialNumber
-- Supports both "C", "C:" and "C:\" styles
put char 1 of pDiskLetter & ":" into pDisk
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
put shell("dir " & pDisk) into tDirData
get matchText(tDirData,"Volume Serial Number is
(.*)\n",volumeSerialNumber)
if it is true then
return volumeSerialNumber
else
return empty
end if
end GetVolumeSN
If the function returns a Serial Number, I know a disk is located at
that drive letter. I then do my "if there is a file..." stuff. If the
function returns nothing (empty) then I know there is no disk in the
drive and I don't check it.
This seems to avoid the whole "no disc" error in Windows XP SP2. I
don't know about other versions... you'll have to test it out.
-- End Snip --
This function was confirmed to work on Vista. But unless you can
specify what errors you are getting, there's not much else I can
suggest. Hope that helps.

I'm looking for suggestions on how to find out if a specific USB
camcorder is attached to a users computer (Windows only), and if it is,
which volume identifies it. If the camcorder is attached, there will be
a specific directory on it which I can use to help identify it.
Let's say I am looking for a folder called "DCIM" on an attached USB
drive. Doing this on Windows Vista causes all kinds of problems.
repeat with i = number of lines of the volumes down to 1
if there is a folder (line i of the volumes & "/DCIM) then
put true into foundit
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
I'm looking for a better solution.
Thanks.
