Close, but it's more like this.

for %%p in (A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if not exist %%p:
ul set FREEDRIVELETTER=%%p

EDIT: Here is a powershell way, not sure if off-topic for your needs

Loops the Upper Case Alphabet

65..90 | foreach {[char]$_;Write-Host "Do Something"}

or Lower Case Alphabet

97..122 | foreach {[char]$_;Write-Host "Do Something"}

Maybe this will work from a batch file.

@ECHO OFF
start /b /wait powershell.exe "97..122 | foreach {$a=[char]$_ ;dir $a:}"
PAUSE
