What is the best way to check for a disc in an optical drive?

[Rekrul]

I have a couple methods of doing this, but I was wondering if there was an 'official' method of checking to see if there's a disc in an optical drive?

Don't know if it's official, but maybe this could help? Like

Code: Select all

wmic logicaldisk where drivetype=5 get volumename

The VOL command can do that.
