I thought of that but how would retrieve the data? Say into a .dat file.

In your program do 

   system( "dir > myfile.txt", 2 )
Then open that file and parse the line with "Dir(s)" on it for the "bytes free" info.

Here's a sample of what you'll get in myfile.txt: 

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator>dir 
 Volume in drive C is HP_PAVLON 
 Volume Serial Number is CD14-1DE0 
 
 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator 
 
09/20/2008  12:34 AM    <DIR>          . 
09/20/2008  12:34 AM    <DIR>          .. 
09/20/2008  10:27 PM    <DIR>          Desktop 
06/08/2008  09:28 PM               199 ex.err 
03/01/2008  08:21 PM    <DIR>          Favorites 
09/02/2008  05:45 PM    <DIR>          My Documents

05/25/2006  04:56 PM    <DIR>          WINDOWS 
               2 File(s)         60,943 bytes
