I got the solution

C++

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	while(true)
	{
		WIN32_FIND_DATA data;
		HANDLE h = FindFirstFile(L"D:\\*.*",&data); \\ Specify the drive letter

		if( h!=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) 
		{
			cout << "Waiting\n";
		} 
		else 
			cout << "Formatting\n";
		FindClose(h);
		Sleep(1000);
	}
	getchar();
	return 0;
}
