stephanie,

As all mentioned, check the series at the VFUG site for more information. FWIW, I'm not completely sure what the "&dirdrive:\" is supposed to be. There are methods for checking if a drive exists (DriveExists), a property to tell if a removable drive has a disk in it (the IsReady property of the Drive object). These should give you a start.
