Read Hard Drive Size

[Wingens]

Hi,

i have been stuck for a while now, and i can't seem to get it done. I have tried google and this forum but i can not find the answer i need.

I am creating a installer, using autoit for deploying Windows Server 2008 with the option to a custom boot partion size.

Right now i have pre determined the sizes that you can choose from, the only problem i have is that, the list has sizes in it that are bigger that the drive size.

So what i want to create is a script that reads the drive size and makes a combolist starting from 40GB and then in steps of 10GB till it reaches the max size of the drive.

I have attached the script i use.

Hope anyone can help me

sincerly,

Mark Wingens

Wingens,

This works for me:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$sDrive = "C;"

$iMin_10 = 40

$iMax_10 = Int(DriveSpaceTotal($sDrive) / 1000)

If $iMax_10 > $iMin_10 Then
    $sSizes = ""
    For $i = $iMin_10 To $iMax_10 Step 10
        $sSizes &= "|" & $i
    Next
EndIf

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$cCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 200, 20)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sSizes)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

All clear?

M23 thx

it is almost what i need, but when i want to read the drive size.

The drive has no drive letter yet, better it has no partition. It is a new harde drive.

Does this script work with that as well?

thank you for your fast response

For some reason neither pasting nor url create button will work [XP, Chrome].

Google 'get size unformatted drive' and the first hit is a thread here with some possibilities.
