Question

How can I check if an NTFS drive exists before launching an application. If it’s not present I’d like to display an error message. This is what I’ve got, but I’m no good at scripting.

itunes.bat

IF EXIST g:\
START "C:\Program Files (x86)\itunes" itunes.exe
ELSE
cscript MessageBox.vbs "Plug in the HDD"

MessageBox.vbs

Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
messageText = objArgs(0)
MsgBox messageText

Answer 1

I would try the following:

cd g:\
if errorlevel 1 goto fail
START "C:\Program Files (x86)\itunes" itunes.exe
exit

:fail
cscript MessageBox.vbs "Plug in the HDD"
