Posted By: Barney on July 21, 2009: This DOS batch job works a treat, but would like to fine tune further if possible. When I run this I get free disk space figures like for example 1987654321 (=1.98gb) or 21987654321 (=21.98gb) or 321987654321 (=321.98gb). Ideally I want to break down the free disc space return value into a MB or GB figure, as I have shown above. Can anyone help? Secondly need a similar DOS batch to shown me disk size.
