Testing If a Drive or Directory Exists from a Batch File

Retired KB ArticleThis article was written about products for which Microsoft no longer offers support. Therefore, this article is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.View products that this article applies to.function loadTOCNode(){}Article ID:65994Last Review:November 16, 2006Revision:2.1This article was previously published under Q65994

SUMMARY

loadTOCNode(1, 'summary'); You can use the IF EXIST statement to check for the presence of a directory. For example, to test for C:\WIN and then change to C:\WIN if it exists, use the following batch file: C: IF NOT EXIST C:\WIN\NUL GOTO NOWINDIR CD \WIN :NOWINDIR

MORE INFORMATION

loadTOCNode(1, 'moreinformation'); NUL always exists on a local MS-DOS FAT drive; therefore, if C:\WIN exists, C:\WIN\NUL exists. This technique can also be used to verify that a drive exists. For example: IF EXIST E:\NUL GOTO USE_E If an unformatted disk is tested, or if the floppy disk drive is empty, an INT 24 error (Abort, Retry, Fail?) occurs. Neither of these tests works correctly with network devices or any other device that does not have a block device-driver-controlled FAT file system (for example, when you are using Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with 32-Bit File Access enabled). Prior to using this technique, you should know what network software the client is using, what type of server they're connecting to, and the file system the server is using. The following table shows when IF EXIST returns NUL: With 32-Bit File No 32-Bit With 32-Bit Access and NetWare Drive Type File Access File Access 3.x connectivity Local FAT correctly always never Windows for Workgroups FAT correctly always never Microsoft LAN Manager HPFS never always never Windows NT FAT/NTFS never always never NetWare correctly never never APPLIES TO•Microsoft MS-DOS 3.1•Microsoft MS-DOS 3.2 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 3.21 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 3.3 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 3.3a•Microsoft MS-DOS 4.0 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 4.01 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0a•Microsoft MS-DOS 6.0 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 6.2 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 6.21 Standard Edition•Microsoft MS-DOS 6.22 Standard Edition•Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11Back to the topKeywords: KB65994
