Using wmic to get drives space information

Question

I\'m trying to get info of the physical drives in a computer with wmic to get something like this:

Drive C:
500 GB Total
100 GB Free
20% Free

Drive D:
500 G         


        

Answer 1

wmic LogicalDisk where "DeviceID='C:' " Get Size

Answer 2

This may work for you: the code is to be added at the bottom of your batch file, and use

call :hdd-info

in your code to display the data.

goto :eof
:code by aGerman - display drive stats and bar graph (REMmed out)
:hdd-info    
@echo off &setlocal
set "GB=1073741824"
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%i in ('wmic logicaldisk get DeviceID^,FreeSpace^,Size') do (
  for /f "tokens=1-3" %%j in ("%%i") do call :output %%j %%k %%l
)
goto :eof
:output
if "%3"=="" (
  rem echo Unable to discover the drive properties.
  goto :eof
)
for /f "tokens=1-4" %%i in (
  'mshta vbscript:Execute("CreateObject(""Scripting.FileSystemObject"").GetStandardStream(1).Write(FormatNumber(%3/%GB%, 2) & "" "" & FormatNumber((%3-%2)/%GB%, 2) & "" "" & FormatNumber(%2/%GB%, 2) & "" "" & Round((%3-%2)*50/%3)):Close"^)'
) do (
  set "size=      %%i"
  set "used=      %%j"
  set "free=      %%k"
  set /a "nUsed=%%l, nFree=50-%%l"
)
echo(
echo       %1
echo Size: %size:~-10% GB
echo Used: %used:~-10% GB
echo Free: %free:~-10% GB
:: echo(
:: for /l %%i in (1 1 %nUsed%) do <nul set /p "=▒"
:: for /l %%i in (1 1 %nFree%) do <nul set /p "=█"
:: echo(&echo(&echo(
goto :eof

Answer 3

As the errormessage tells you, set is limited to 32-bit-integers. If you can live with an accuracy of MB, you can shorten the numbers like this:

set SizeMB=%size:~0,-6%

(it takes the string except the last 6 characters)

It may be not quite correct in a mathematic sense, but should be good enough.

Of course you will have to shorten %freeMB% the same way.
