Made a typo:

If Not objFSO.FolderExists(strDrive & "\") Then

Omit the extra :

Won't this be a little cleaner way to do it:

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

For I = 67 To 90

strDrive = Chr(I) & ":"

If Not objFSO.FolderExists(strDrive & ":\") Then

WScript.Echo strDrive & " is the next available drive."

End If

The issue I am having is detection of a disconnected network drive. It doesn't enumerate along with the other drives, and then when I try to use the drive letter that is disconnected, it tells me that the computer has a remembered connection and that I cannot map that letter. How do you detect disconnected drive letters?
