Generally, no.

Depends on your OS.

Should be obvious -- if the program is being run from a floppy in a: drive then the disk has to be there, otherwise you couldn't run the program. How to tell if someone removes the disk after starting the program? depends on the program. If it attempts to read something from the disk then it won't work.

You can get the type of a drive in Windows with the GetDriveType() function. Passing NULL to it gives the type of the drive of the current directory.
