Hmmmm, right now...I'm doing multiplication on the index values returned by GetDiskFreeSpace. According to the documentation...
tuple[0]: sectors per cluster tuple[1]: number of bytes per sector tuple[2]: total number of free clusters tuple[3]: total number of clusters on the disk So I'm multiplying together indices 0, 1 and 2 together to get the amount of free space left on my hard drive in bytes. The product of the first three indices is over 10 gigabytes and is correct according to my calculations. Why would the documentation say it does not return data over 2 gigabytes then? Or do you mean not over 2 gigabytes returned for tuple[2]? I believe my tuple[2] returned a value of 2778727 bytes, which is well below the 2 gigabyte capacity. Anyway, thanks for letting me know about GetDiskFreeSpaceEx. I will look into this function as well. Thanks guys!
