How about (untried but ...)

drivebits=win32file.GetLogicalDrives()
for d in range(1,26):
        mask=1 << d
        if drivebits & mask:
                # here if the drive is at least there
                drname='%c:\\' % chr(ord('A')+d)
                t=win32file.GetDriveType(drname)
                if t == win32file.DRIVE_REMOVABLE:

Or whatever DRIVE_* defined values there are in win32file
DRIVE_CDROM 
DRIVE_FIXED 
DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR 
DRIVE_RAMDISK 
DRIVE_REMOTE 
DRIVE_REMOVABLE 
DRIVE_UNKNOWN
