Hello,
There is currently no API function to get the hard disk size.
What you may want to do is create a "FileSystemObject" ActiveX object.
Here's a quick example:
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var space =fso.GetDrive("c:").AvailableSpace;
"space" will hold the free disk space for drive "c:" in bytes.
Do a google search on FileSystemObject for more information. Many of
the examples may be in VBScript, but the properties and methods should
be the same.
Cheers!

Hi there. I'm trying to write a gadget to display various information
about users hard drive(s). How do I query the computer to display this
information? I thought something like:
HDspaceLeft=framework.system.device.physicaldisk.size-framework.system.device.physicaldisk.used
But I couldn't find anything online to show how to do this.
(I'm new to API/javascripting)
Thanks for your help.
