JDK-4089199 - File creation on removable drives without a disk brings up a dialog (win)
Description
Name: skT88420			Date: 01/31/2000


java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-W, native threads, symcjit)

if you want to test a File object representing a removeable drive ( with no
Medium inserted ) with methods like isDirectory(), canWrite(),.. java.exe
creates a Dialog 'no medium'.
 
Is it possible to throw a Exception for this reason? I think it would give more
flexibility in software design.
