You may check free space of any drive by using an object of System.IO.DriveInfo class. Therefore following line will provide you free disk space provided on c drive- System.IO.DriveInfo dr= new System.IO.DriveInfo("C:\\"); long FreeSpace= dr.AvailableFreeSpace; In case if you need to know about all logical drives available on a system, you may use Environment.GetLogicalDrives() method. This will return you a string array containing all logical drives available on a system. Such as – string[] drives = Environment.GetLogicalDrives(); I hope this helps. -Dave.
