Drive Ready Function


I downloaded a file manager example with drives being listed and
supposing E: was a cdrom, how do you that e: is ready? is there a win32
function to tell you that it is ready for reading without doing a
physical read, and having it pop up with insert a disk.
Or maybe I have to do it that way.

Marc
