In C++, call
GetLogicalDrivesorGetLogicalDriveStringsto find out the drive letters that are in use. You can then useGetDriveFreeSpaceExto find out how much disk space is free. A complication is that in Windows 2000 and later, a volume can be mounted below another path and may not have a separate drive letter. If you decide to handle this, useFindFirstVolumeMountPointetc. From C# and VB, if using .NET 2.0, useSystem.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrivesto find out the drives available, and the properties of the returnedDriveInfoobjects to determine the free space available. For .NET 1.x, you have to either P/Invoke the C++ APIs mentioned above, or use WMI via theSystem.Managementnamespace to look forWin32_LogicalDiskobjects.Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
