Windows Script Host is built into Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, ME and XP.
If you are running Windows 95 or NT4, you can download Windows Script
Host from the Microsoft Windows Script Technologies Web site at

The Win32_DiskDrive WMI class represents a physical disk drive as seen by a computer running the Windows operating system. Any interface to a Windows physical disk drive is a descendent (or member) of this class. The features of the disk drive seen through this object correspond to the logical and management characteristics of the drive. In some cases, this may not reflect the actual physical characteristics of the device. Any object based on another logical device would not be a member of this class. This demo and illustration only show some of the available information from the class. For a complete listing see the table in the Comments section below. Note that some systems may not return information in all class properties. |
