Introduction

This code is used to check for free space available on logical disks.

How to use it

Copy the source files HardDiskManager.cpp and HardDiskManager.h to your project directory and add them to your project.

CHardDiskManager::CHardDiskManager()
{
    // bytes available to caller
    m_uliFreeBytesAvailable.QuadPart = 0L;

    // bytes on disk
    m_uliTotalNumberOfBytes.QuadPart = 0L;

    // free bytes on disk
    m_uliTotalNumberOfFreeBytes.QuadPart = 0L;
}

        &m_uliTotalNumberOfFreeBytes) )   // free bytes on disk
