How to know if a specific "volume label" exist?

[splee]

I am running Windows 7, and I have several external HDD connected to my PC. One of the HDD has volume label "BOOTLOADER".

How can I write a LabVIEW vi, to know if the volume label exist, i.e if that HDD is attached to my PC?

I tried the solution in the below link:

but I couldn't get the batch file to work.

As for the .NET solution, I copy and paste the block diagram to my VI, and it does not work.. see my previous post in this forum. Running the original VI does work though..

It's fairly easy to get the drive list by letter with list dir, but I couldn't find a pure LabVIEW way, if you want to check for a specific drive, maybe you can test the size and sector size... I know it's just a crappy workaround...

hope this helps
