Testing for empty drives

dim DriveList as string() = Environment.GetLogicalDrives
gives me a string array of every drive on the system

If I cast any of those strings as a directoryinfo, and it is, for instance,
'A:\' and drive A is empty, I get an exception when it is referenced.

Is there any way to test to see if it will cause an exception before getting
the exception?
Thanks,
G

You can try to catch the exception.
