I use the following code to suppress "Media not inserted" messageboxes:

BEGIN {
    if ($^O =~ /\bMSWin32\b|\bcygwin\b/) {
        require Win32::API;
        Win32::API->import();
        Win32::API->Import('kernel32', 'SetErrorMode', 'I', 'I');

        my $errormode = SetErrorMode(1); # fetch old error mode
        SetErrorMode(1 | $errormode); # no AbortRetryFail messages any
+more
    };
};

Your code has two serious bugs in it already. First, you are not using strict.pm, which is why your typo of $drive and $dive will go unnoticed by Perl. Second, you are using backslashes in a double quoted string. \a in a double-quoted string means the "bell" character. Please see perlop on quotes.
