GetDiskFreeSpaceEx or GetDiskFreeSpace

or u can use it as follow:



procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  FreeBytes : TLargeInteger;
  FreeSize     : TLargeInteger;
  TotalSize    : TLargeInteger;
begin
  GetDiskFreeSpaceEx( 'c:',
                      FreeBytes,
                      Totalsize,
                      @FreeSize );
  ShowMessage('Free Space = ' + IntToStr(FreeBytes)
  +#13 + #10 + 'Total Drive Size ' + IntToStr(TotalSize))
end;

Thanks, many thanks, but people post comments and user selects most appropriate as answer.if you post as answer you are "locking" the q from others seeing it.

Have to watch out for the integer math, that is why my example uses double data type.

var  lpspc, lpbps, lpnofc, lptnoc: Integer;
     fspc, fbps, fnofc, ftnoc: Double;
     fFree, fTotal:    Double;
begin


if GetDiskFreeSpace('c:\', lpspc, lpbps, lpnofc, lptnoc) then
  begin
     // The following will perform only integer math, and will be wrong if
     // results are bigger that 2GB
     fFree:=lpspc * lpbps * lpnofc;
     fTotal:=lpspc * lpbps * lptnoc;
     MessageBox(Handle, PChar(Format('Total = %n, Free = %n', [fTotal, fFree])), nil, MB_OK);
     // Correct way would be to assign to double so
     // we perform floating point math
     fspc:=lpspc;
     fbps:=lpbps;
     fnofc:=lpnofc;
     ftnoc:=lptnoc;
     // Floating point math
     fFree:=fspc * fbps * fnofc;
     fTotal:=fspc * fbps * ftnoc;
     MessageBox(Handle, PChar(Format('Total = %n, Free = %n', [fTotal, fFree])), nil, MB_OK);
  end;

Here is my try at this:
Let's try this...
This is THE answer you are looking for.
Like the other experts here says you need the function Mine will only work on win95osr2 and later and NT3.5 and later and 2K also.

-create a new program
add a button.

and this is the unit :

======================================
unit Unit1;

interface

uses
 Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
 StdCtrls;

type
 TForm1 = class(TForm)
   btnButton1: TButton;
   procedure btnButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
 private
   { Private declarations }
 public
   { Public declarations }
 end;

 ULARGE_INTEGER = record
   case Integer of
     0: (
       LowPart: DWORD;
       HighPart: DWORD);
     1: (
       QuadPart: LONGLONG);
 end;

 PULargeInteger = ^TULargeInteger;
 TULargeInteger = ULARGE_INTEGER;

var
 Form1: TForm1;
 GetDiskFreeSpaceEx: function(Directory: PChar; var FreeAvailable,
   TotalSpace, TotalFree: ULARGE_INTEGER): Bool stdcall = nil;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure InitDriveSpacePtr;
var
 Kernel: THandle;
begin
 Kernel := GetModuleHandle(Windows.Kernel32);
 if Kernel <> 0 then
   @GetDiskFreeSpaceEx := GetProcAddress(Kernel, 'GetDiskFreeSpaceExA');
end;

function InternalGetDiskSpace(Drive: Byte;
 var TotalSpace, FreeSpaceAvailable: ULARGE_INTEGER): Bool;
var
 RootPath: array[0..4] of Char;
 RootPtr: PChar;
 Test: ULARGE_INTEGER;
begin
 RootPtr := nil;
 if Drive > 0 then
 begin
   RootPath[0] := Char(Drive + $40);
   RootPath[1] := ':';
   RootPath[2] := '\';
   RootPath[3] := #0;
   RootPtr := RootPath;
 end;
 Result := GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(RootPtr, FreeSpaceAvailable, TotalSpace, Test);
end;

//DiskFree returns the number of free bytes on the specified drive, where 0 = Current, 1 = A, 2 = B,
and so on.
//DiskFree returns -1 if the drive number is invalid.

function DiskFree(Drive: Byte): ULARGE_INTEGER;
var
 TotalSpace: ULARGE_INTEGER;
begin
 if not InternalGetDiskSpace(Drive, TotalSpace, Result) then
   Result.QuadPart := -1;
end;

procedure TForm1.btnButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
 disk: byte;
 freeS: ULARGE_INTEGER;
 resultinMB:integer;
begin
 InitDriveSpacePtr; //to get the pointer on the getdiskfreespaceEx function
 disk := 2; //a:0, B:1, C:2 etc...

 freeS := DiskFree(disk);
 resultinMB := round(freeS.QuadPart / 1024 / 1024);

 showmessage('The disk has '+intToStr(resultinMB)+' mega bytes free');

 //the total size in byte of the disk is in quadpart
end;

end.

//I have tested it under D3 and it is working on my 15Gb disk
This is working for any partitions type except that
no solution can be found if you have a network mapped fat32 disk :) but, who cares ;)
Regards.

delphi automaticly resets the pointer reference to GetDiskFreeSpaceEx when the sysutils is initialized with the InitDriveSpacePtr procedure. Here is some code I have used when I don't want to use sysutils. You will have to call the procedure InitDriveSpacePtr; in your form create, to see which GetDiskFreeSpace function your OS supports. this will return -1 on errors. . . . .

type
TdriveSize = record
    FreeS:Int64;
    TotalS:Int64;

var
  GetDiskFreeSpaceEx: function (Directory: PChar; var FreeAvailable,
    TotalSpace: Int64; TotalFree: PLargeInteger): Boolean stdcall = nil;

function BackfillGetDiskFreeSpaceEx(Directory: PChar; var FreeAvailable,
    TotalSpace: Int64; TotalFree: PLargeInteger): Boolean; stdcall;
var
  SectorsPerCluster, BytesPerSector, FreeClusters, TotalClusters: LongWord;
  Temp: Int64;
  Dir: PChar;
begin
  if Directory <> nil then
    Dir := Directory
  else
    Dir := nil;
  Result := GetDiskFreeSpaceA(Dir, SectorsPerCluster, BytesPerSector,
    FreeClusters, TotalClusters);
  Temp := SectorsPerCluster * BytesPerSector;
  FreeAvailable := Temp * FreeClusters;
  TotalSpace := Temp * TotalClusters;
end;

procedure InitDriveSpacePtr;
var
  Kernel: HWND;
begin
  Kernel := GetModuleHandle(Windows.Kernel32);
  if Kernel <> 0 then
    @GetDiskFreeSpaceEx := GetProcAddress(Kernel, 'GetDiskFreeSpaceExA');
  if not Assigned(GetDiskFreeSpaceEx) then
    GetDiskFreeSpaceEx := @BackfillGetDiskFreeSpaceEx;
end;

function DiskSpace(Drive: PChar): TdriveSize;
var
  TSpace,TotalS: Int64;
  Drv: array [0..4] of char;
  Sizes:TdriveSize;
  ErrorMode: Word;
begin
StrLCopy(Drv,Drive,3);
ErrorMode := SetErrorMode(SEM_FailCriticalErrors);
if GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(Drv, TSpace, TotalS, nil) then
begin
Sizes.FreeS :=  TSpace;
Sizes.TotalS := TotalS;
Result := Sizes;
end else
begin
Sizes.FreeS := -1;
Sizes.TotalS := -1;
Result := Sizes;
end;
SetErrorMode(ErrorMode);
end;

Hello
 
  sorry Nasko for posting my comment and answer

  I test my code with partition more than 2GB and with win2000, and that works fine, also try the link I gave to you, you will find full project and it will work find too

  Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,
Yes I found the D3DiskSpaceKludge very helpful. It works fine. Just be more patient;)... I want to see another answers. Thanks!
Nasko

Hi Nasko
 
  I just wanted to check if that worked with you or not, I hope you find what you are looking for :)

 Mohammed

Thanks Slick812, rllibby, jeurk and Mohammed
I must edit my q...I needs a solution that will work on Win 95 too..
Nasko

I test my code with win95 and fat16 and it work fine too there :), the same code work with win95 and win2000 :)

Mohammed
