Hi,
I wanted to get disk space details of a windows drive like free, used and available. The total size of the drive is like 8TB, used 5.56TB and free 1.78TB.
Attempted with Filesys::Diskspace and Filesys::DfPortable, it gives me wrong results as seems like there is a limitation on handling disk size(i.e: max of integer 4 byte value).

The wrong usage details given for the drive as :
Total bytes: 41943035904
Total bytes free: 17095663616
Total bytes avail to me: 17095663616
Total bytes used: 24847372288


Please suggest me the other respective ways that supports in all higher version of Windows 2000 OS.

Thanks,
Bala.
