here is an example to how get Drives info from server. Try to adopt it to your needs

Dim fso
   Dim Drive
         
   set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   
   for each Drive in fso.Drives
      Response.Write "<p>"
      Response.Write "Drive Letter: " & Drive.DriveLetter & "<br>" 
      If Drive.IsReady = True Then
         Response.Write "Drive Ready<br>"         
         Response.Write "Serial Number: " & Drive.SerialNumber & "<br>" 
         Response.Write "Volume Name: " & Drive.VolumeName & "<br>"
         Response.Write "Share Name: " & Drive.ShareName & "<br>"
         Response.Write "FileSystem: " & Drive.FileSystem & "<br>"
      
         Select case Drive.DriveType
         Case 0
            Response.Write "Drive Type: UNKNOWN<br>"
         Case 1
            Response.Write "Drive Type: REMOVABLE<br>"
         Case 2
            Response.Write "Drive Type: FIXED<br>"
         Case 3
            Response.Write "Drive Type: REMOTE<br>"
         Case 4
            Response.Write "Drive Type: CDROM<br>"
         Case 5
            Response.Write "Drive Type: RAMDISK<br>"      
         End Select
      
         Response.Write "Total Size: " & Drive.TotalSize & "<br>"
         Response.Write "Available Space: " & Drive.AvailableSpace & "<br>"
         Response.Write "Free Space: " & Drive.FreeSpace & "<br>"
         Response.Write "Root Folder: " & Drive.RootFolder & "<br>"         
      Else
         Response.Write "Drive NOT Ready<br>"
      End if
      Response.Write "</p><hr>"
   Next

I implemented this code to the ActiveX control. Check out this link, it's from my site.

If it's OK for you I'll attach project files.
