I am writing a script that will get a data count off of HDDs that we work on.  Everything is working and when I added a Read-Host so that you could enter the drive letter of the connected HDD it worked until I put it on a jump drive and now all it reads is the jump drive drive letter.

    else {

Also I get this error in regards to this line of code

Here is my final script:

}

 I had to add a ` to the following

$directory = get-childitem $drive`:\* -force -exclude *windows*, *Intel*, ....etc

I didn't know that a : is a special character that needs to be escaped.
