Just tried your solution Tim, worked like a charm. :) It's great because I don't even have to worry about the computer name. A question regarding the rootPath parameter...how would I be passing it? Would I be passing it as...
tuple = win32api.GetDiskFreeSpace(r'C:') or just leave it blank and the function will automatically use the rootPath of where the .py file resides? Both have returned the correct result.
