The Drive Object

The Drive object is used to return information about a local
disk drive or a network share. The Drive object can return information about a
drive's type of file system, free space, serial number, volume name, and more.

Note: You cannot return information about a drive's
content with the Drive object. For this purpose you will have to use the Folder
object.

To work with the properties of the Drive object, you will have
to create an instance of the Drive object through the FileSystemObject object.
First; create a FileSystemObject object and then instantiate the Drive object
through the GetDrive method or the Drives property of the FileSystemObject
object.

The following example uses the GetDrive method of the
FileSystemObject object to instantiate the Drive object and the TotalSize
property to return the total size in bytes of the specified drive (c:):

<% Dim fs,d Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set d=fs.GetDrive("c:") Response.Write("Drive " & d & ":") Response.Write("Total size in bytes: " & d.TotalSize) set d=nothing set fs=nothing %> Output: Drive c: Total size in bytes: 4293563392
