YaleCoder YaleCoder Getting the hang of it Registered: 2001-12-18 Posts: 61 Loc: Jelenia Gora, Poland	I am trying to identify the capacity of the physical disk the operating system booted from, regardless of how many logical partitions are present. Is there a WMI class that will provide me with that info? If not, any input on how to go about it? Thanks, Matthew _________________________ "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis

"Size is: " + $size Next $objWMI = 0 Search MSDN for Win32_DiskDrive for other properties. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/
