Are you using PowerShell for this?  If so, something like this should work 

$logfileExists=0
if(test-path D:\path\to\logfile.txt)
{
	$logfileExists=1
}
elseif(test-path E:\path\to\logfile.txt)
{
	$logfileExists=1
}
else
{
	$logfileExists=0
}
$outString="logfileExists="+$logfileExists

write-host $outString

Otherwise - you can run a command like this 

$drives = GET-WMIOBJECT win32_logicaldisk | select DeviceID

foreach($drive in $drives)
{
    #do a test-path to the path on each drive
}

Hope that helps.
