Directory.Exists - Not working?

[elziko]

I want to use the Directory.Exists method to see if a directory exists. But
it doesn't seem to work for the root of a removable (USB) drive.

I plug in my drive and it gets allocated a letter ("F:"). I then confirm
that I can view the drive in Windows Explorer but:

Directory.Exists("F:\")

returns False!

Directory.Exists("C:\")

returns True as expected!

Is this by design or a bug? Is there an alternative that will work for all
paths including on removable drives?

Thanks,

elziko

Have you tried using the logical drive list?

Dim sLog As String() = Directory.GetLogicalDrives

Sweep
...if it works dont f*** with it
