I don't think what you want would even work. You can't walk A:
unless a floppy is present, O/S will bark at you. You can't
walk D: (cdrom drive) unless a CDROM is present. What about
network drives??? Unlike Linux where these directories appear
to be empty if nothing is mounted Windows tries to read a
directory and errors. Just follow what Peter Hansen has
suggested and write a wrapper function that calls os.walk
repeatedly for all the actual drives in your system
that are readable at all times. It isn't all that hard.
