ASP Drive Object
The Drive object is used to return information about a local disk drive or a network share.
Examples
Get the available space of
a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to first create a FileSystemObject object, and then use
the AvailableSpace property to get the available space of a specified drive.
Get the free space of a
specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the FreeSpace property to get the free space
of a specified drive.
Get the total size of a
specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the TotalSize property to get the total size of a specified drive.
Get the drive letter of a
specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the DriveLetter property to get the drive letter of a specified drive.

specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the DriveType property to get the drive type of a specified drive.
Get the file system of a

The Drive Object
The Drive object is used to return information about a local disk drive or a network share.
The Drive object can return information about a drive's type of file system, free space,
serial number, volume name, and more.
Note: You cannot return information about a drive's content with the
Drive object. For this purpose you will have to use the Folder object.
To work with the properties of the Drive object, you will have to create an
instance of the Drive object through the FileSystemObject
object. First; create a FileSystemObject object and then instantiate the Drive object
through the GetDrive method or
the Drives property of the FileSystemObject object.
The following example uses the GetDrive method of the FileSystemObject object to
instantiate the Drive object and the TotalSize property to return the total size in bytes of
the specified drive (c:):
<%
Dim fs,d
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set d=fs.GetDrive("c:")
Response.Write("Drive " & d & ":")
Response.Write("Total size in bytes: " & d.TotalSize)
set d=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
Output:
Drive c: Total size in bytes: 4293563392
