---- 我们在编程的时候有时会需要得到系统中逻辑磁盘的一些信息，如磁盘卷标、磁盘序列号、空间大小、剩余空间等，这些信息直接使用VB提供的函数显然是无法得到的。但是，借助于VB对WINDOWS API函数的支持，使用GetVolumeInformation和 GetDiskFreeSpace这两个API函数，我们就可以很容易的得到磁盘的相关信息。

---- 先来谈谈这两个函数。GetVolumeInformation函数用于获取与一个磁盘卷有关的信息，包括磁盘卷标、磁盘的序列号、文件的全路径名中“\”与“\”之间部分的长度、文件系统的名称以及文件系统的某些特性。GetDiskFreeSpace函数用于获取与一个磁盘组织有关的信息，以及了解剩余空间的容量，包括磁盘上的总簇数、剩余簇数、一个簇内的扇区数和一个扇区内的字节数。

---- 接下来看看具体的例子。

---- 进入VB中，在窗体上加入一个驱动器列表框（DriveListBox）和一个列表框（ListBox），然后加入以下的脚本：

---- 运行后，选择驱动器列表框中的不同驱动器，列表框中就会显示出该驱动器的相应信息。以上程序在VB5.0、VB6.0及WINDOWS 98中运行通过。
