There is a whole family of drive-related functions. Read the help ?

Especially DriveStatus seems suited to your needs.

i alredy know drive related functions but i don't want to write a loop such this:

while 1
    $var = DriveGetDrive( "REMOVABLE" )
    For $i = 1 to $var[0]
;do something
next
EndSelect
WEnd

i need a script like this

repeat

sleep(100)

until a usb is plugged

From G. Born's press

; Drive type constants
Const Global Unknown = 0
Const Global Removable = 1      ; Removable medium
Const Global Fixed = 2          ; Fixed medium (hard disk)
Const Global Remote = 3             ;Network drive
Const Global CDROM = 4          ; CD-ROM
Const Global RAMDisk = 5                ; RAM disk

Dim $fso, $oDrive, $Drive

$fso = ObjGet("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
$oDrive = $fso.Drives

For $Drive In $oDrive
     Switch $Drive.DriveType

          Case Unknown
                    .....

          Case Fixed
                    .....
     EndSwitch
Next
