This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

The ability to list the drives available on a Windows machine is not available in MATLAB.

To work around this issue, the GETDRIVES function is available for download from the MATLAB Central website and has this functionality. The file is available here:
