You need to actually get a drive to be able to examine its properties.

That's essentially what the error message is saying - that it needs an object (a drive object) to be able to execute the method

So, the following should work:

Code:

[COLOR=blue]Dim oDI As DriveInfo
oDI = DriveInfo.GetDrives(0) [COLOR=green]' first drive[/color]
MsgBox("Drive: " & oDI.Name & " Available Free space: " & oDI.AvailableFreeSpace)[/color]
