Re: How to retrieve hard drive information?

Here's a tutorial. Make sure you add the COM reference that it talks about in the first paragraph.

This is what it showed for my machine:

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

  File System:     NTFS
  Free Space:      189465538560
  Total Size:      249933357056
  Volume Name:     
  Serial Number:   -736547909
