[DUG] GetDiskFreeSpace on a virtual pc

[Phil Middlemiss]

The problem is the other way around - the virtual drive is indeed 
dynamic, but stored on another drive that has much more space than is 
being reported.
The space being reported is on the host computer's c:\ instead of the 
virtual computer's c:\ (which should have a lot more free).

I'm converting the drive to fixed size to see if that makes any difference.
