DriveInfo not showing correct info
November 09, 2018 12:28PM
I am trying to use the function: ResDiskSize is int = fDriveInfo("C:", fdTotalSpace)
to get drive information.

The result I get is not correct.

My C: drive is 256GB the result i get is 750GB. The free space "fdFreeSpace" function also produces incorrect data.
I must be doing something wrong any ideas?

Hi, really? In the past I've been using these functions a lot but never had a feedback of our customers about errors. Maybe, there's a difference when running a 64-bit vs. 32-bit application?

Hi Mike,
remember you are getting back a result in bytes.
So you may have an overflow when using a simple int
Try double int

thanks for the response. I did question that and placed the result in a string to check. the result is the same. None of the drive reflect correctly. I have done a rebuild, recompile etc but still the results are incorrect.

Hi Mike,

Just try this piece of code:

Info(LengthToString(fDriveInfo("C:", fdTotalSpace), sizeGB ) )

According to the help the result should be stored in Numeric type variable.
