Getting c drive free space info?

HI guys..i'm having a problem...how do you get drive space info for c drive only?...the ones i found in the forums lists down all the drives..what i want to do is to display out the available disk space left on drive c on a message box or label..anyone knows how?

You need a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library. Select the Project menu's Add Reference command and click on the COM tab. Select the Microsoft Scripting Runtime entry and click OK.
'assuming you have a textbox to input a drive and a button to get it's information
Put this at the top of your class
Imports Scripting

for example if you want to get the free space of your c drive type in the textbox C:/ then press a button ok

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        getinfodrive(TextBox1.Text)
    End Sub

    Sub getinfodrive(ByVal s As String)
        Dim drive As String
        Dim fso As New FileSystemObject()
        For Each drive In Directory.GetLogicalDrives
            If drive = s Then
                Dim d As Drive = fso.GetDrive(drive)
                MessageBox.Show(d.FreeSpace.ToString)
                MessageBox.Show(d.TotalSize.ToString)
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

The size is shown in bytes?..is there a way to convert it to kb?

1 kb is 1024 bytes. So it should be quite easy to calculate. :)

oh okay..thanks a lot..that solved it!
