Hi!

I have "mounted" a partition into the folder: c:\bigspace160\
Drive C is a NTFS volume.
... so the partition has no drive letter.
How can I find out the free and total space available?

Thanks

Johannes

ShowMessage("Size "+AnsiString(DiskSize(0))+"  Free 
"+AnsiString(DiskFree(0)));

Thanks for your quick answer!

But this is not I what I wanted.
The Drive/Partition has no Drive Letter assigned.
It is just mounted in the "BIGSPACE160" folder (NTFS)

Might help if you mentioned how you were "mounting" the partition,
since not many people do such daft things.

I assume you are using mountvol.exe

Have you tried GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() ?
The root would be c:\bigspace160

Set this as the current path, and then call
ShowMessage("Size "+AnsiString(DiskSize(0))+
                "  Free "+AnsiString(DiskFree(0)));
