IDEA: Text file to list correct drive free-space under XP

(1/2) > >>

TWmailrec:

If you create a DOS BATCH prog to automate Backup/ZIP, DOS wrongly
reports free space on a named partition under XP.
It would be useful to have a program to create a text file (for display in a DOS Batch prog) showing accurate free space (GB) on a named partition.
My searches havent revealed an existing program that does this accurately under XP.
(DOS progs I have are written for WIN98/95/WIN3.1)

Can anyone help!

There's no DOS in XP but some tools still work. You can try XSet to enhance your command scripts.

You could also move on and use Authotkey or Autoit for your scripts.

Agreed  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

But still, could you be more precise on what you're looking for, TWmailrec?

sinum:
Why dont use 4NT from http://www.jpsoftware.com/  works 100%.
They have an old Version ( 4DOS ) for free. 90% on XP i think.
