How do I find out the storage capacity of my harddisk without using the OS functions like dir or ls?

+2  A: 

statfs() unix system call is your friend (link points to BSD man page as used in Mac OS X).

+2  A: 

On windows:

Win32: GetDiskFreeSpaceEx

.NET: DriveInfo

If, for whatever reason, you still don't want to use those, you can send an IOCTL message direct to the disk driver.

The DriveInfo was what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
