Please see the FPC documentation for diskfree for how to do this.

Hi!

0 = current drive.
1 = A:
2 = B:
3 = C:
4 = D:
5 = E:
....

that works if you know that you are after  D: or E:

GetDiskFreeSpace() takes the drive as a string (cast to pchar) and returns lots of info you may find useful.

you can use getDriveType() to find out if it is ...
  TDrvType = (dtNotDetermined, dtNonExistent, dtRemoveable,
              dtFixed, dtRemote, dtCDROM, dtRamDrive);
and you can use
GetVolumeInformation() to get the volume name use full if you named your USB drive and it is one of several pulled into the system.
It's been a while since I worked on my "diskutil" unit but I believe they are all built ins.
my uses ...
  windows   ,fileutil   ,process   ,jwadbt   ; 
incase you can not find something.

Thanks well some confuse  i send DiskFree(0) witch is current drive and return this value
(0)   FSpaceD = -229756928

i chanege Diskfree(3) suppost is drive c:\ and return this value
(3)   FSpaceD = -194945024

not must be same...
could be partitions of HDD
you can see on image values from windows

In this case it looks that it shows the recovery partition at index 3 , winni's table is not correct:
Also note your code contains an error, so the return value is negative. See your output.
  FSpace,FSpaceD:longint;
should be:
  FSpace,FSpaceD:Int64;
That is because DiskFree returns Int64

Specialize a type, not a var.

The Winapi will get this task done.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  
  2.  
  3. uses
  4. windows,sysutils;
  5.  
  6. function Disks(whichone:ansistring):double;
  7. const
  8. d=1024*1024*1024;
  9. e='                ';
  10. var
  11. a,b,c:qword;
  12. i:int32;
  13. s:ansistring;
  14. ret:double;
  15. begin
  16. ret:=0.0;
  17. writeln('Drive',e,'Total Gb',e,'Free Gb');
  18. for i:=ord('A') to ord('Z') do
  19. begin
  20. s:=chr(i)+':';
  21. if GetDiskFreeSpaceexA(pchar(s),@a,@b,@c)then
  22. begin
  23. If (Pos (uppercase(whichone),s)<>0) then ret:=c/d;
  24.  writeln(chr(i)+':',e,b/d:9:5,e,c/d:9:5);
  25.  end;
  26. end;
  27. writeln;
  28. exit(ret)
  29. end;
  30.  
  31. var free:double;
  32.  
  33.

Thanks Bob, Give mw new idea to manage that, This my interface components
interface

uses
  Classes, SysUtils, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, Menus, ComCtrls,
  ExtCtrls, Buttons, Grids, StdCtrls, DBGrids, StrUtils, process, BufDataset,
  DB, memds, Types;   

and this is on Uses...
implementation
   uses FileUtil,lazfileutils,crt;

when start with this i thinking windows is going to show a list of disk drives, as you going testing i learning more.....

Thanks.. all take your time and send some text...
