I dont Know if this will work. I Have Only One CD Drive, I added loop to the code. Dim CDdrv, Counter , Fso, RBox Counter = 0 Const CDROM = 4 Do Until RBox = vbcancel On Error Resume Next Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strDriveLetter = "" For intDriveLetter = Asc("A") To Asc("Z") Err.Clear If Fso.GetDrive(Chr(intDriveLetter)).DriveType = CDROM Then If Err.Number = 0 Then strDriveLetter = Chr(intDriveLetter) CDdrv = strDriveLetter Exit For End If End If Next Do Until Counter = 10 Counter = Counter + 1 RBox = MsgBox("Your Cd Is: " & CDdrv & vbCrLf & "Press Cancel To Quit" & vbCrLf & Counter,1 + 48,"The Cd Is: " & CDdrv) If Counter = 10 Then RBox = vbcancel MsgBox "The Loop Ran 10 Times" & vbCrLf & "Preparing To Exit Script", 0 + 32,"End Loop" End If Exit Do Loop Loop

This one will you what the cd without a batch file Dim CDdrv, Fso 'As Scripting.FileSystemObject Const CDROM = 4 On Error Resume Next Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strDriveLetter = "" For intDriveLetter = Asc("D") To Asc("Z") Err.Clear If Fso.GetDrive(Chr(intDriveLetter)).DriveType = CDROM Then If Err.Number = 0 Then strDriveLetter = Chr(intDriveLetter) CDdrv = strDriveLetter Exit For End If End If Next L=MsgBox ("Your Cd Is: " & CDdrv,0 + 48,"The Cd Is: " & CDdrv) wscript.quit

Are you adding the Cd varible to the OutPut That would give it a place to start from. This is a cmd that makes a vbs that will then send back to cmd the CD letter, Edit out the delete stuff add the vbs code to what you need. echo off mode con: cols=55 lines=2 title CdVar color 9f > Cd.vbs echo Dim ts >> Cd.vbs echo Dim strDriveLetter >> Cd.vbs echo Dim intDriveLetter >> Cd.vbs echo Dim fs 'As Scripting.FileSystemObject >> Cd.vbs echo Const CDROM = 4 >> Cd.vbs echo On Error Resume Next >> Cd.vbs echo Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") >> Cd.vbs echo strDriveLetter = "" >> Cd.vbs echo For intDriveLetter = Asc("A") To Asc("Z") >> Cd.vbs echo Err.Clear >> Cd.vbs echo If fs.GetDrive(Chr(intDriveLetter)).DriveType = CDROM Then >> Cd.vbs echo If Err.Number = 0 Then >> Cd.vbs echo strDriveLetter = Chr(intDriveLetter) >> Cd.vbs echo Exit For >> Cd.vbs echo End If >> Cd.vbs echo End If >> Cd.vbs echo Next >> Cd.vbs echo Set ts = fs.CreateTextFile(Left(Wscript.ScriptFullName, InstrRev(Wscript.ScriptFullName, ".")) ^& "cmd", True, False) >> Cd.vbs echo ts.WriteLine "set " ^& Left(WScript.ScriptName, InStr(WScript.ScriptName, ".") - 1) ^& "=" ^& strDriveLetter >> Cd.vbs echo ts.Close ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul start wscript.exe Cd.vbs ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul del cd.vbs call cd.cmd del cd.cmd cls mode con: cols=55 lines=5 color 2b echo. echo Your Cd Is %CD% echo. echo set cdrom=%CD% echo. ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul exit
