There is however a way to do it in a cross platform manner which will return an appoximation of the available space. 1. delete all of the files (and folders) on the partition that you want to test. 2. create a file as large as the drive will permit. 3. repeat two with as many files as the drive will allow to be written. This needs to be done on filesystems with file size limits (ie, FAT file systems will only allow files as large as 4G). 4. Once all the files have been written, calculate the total size of all of the files to get your answer. This method is a little descructive and slow; but, it should work on all platforms. <warning font="small print"> This is a joke. Do not take it seriously. I do not actually suggest anybody use this method to measure the size of their drive. I do not take any responsibility for any damages incurred by using this method. I will laugh at you if you do.
