Question

I found this simple script that outputs the logical disk sizes.

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")

For Each objDisk in colDisks
    Wscript.Echo "DeviceID: " & objDisk.DeviceID & " with a Disk Size: " & objDisk.Size

Next

My VBS skills are very poor and I need help:

1. I would like to get a single size number of ONLY the C and D partitions added together
2. if the size (from step1) is not equal to 500-GB (between 450,000,000,000 and 550,000,000,000) I need the computer to prompt a warning and “press any key” to continue
3. I don’t want a pop-up window since this is going to run from the prompt of WinPE, is it possible to get the output in the prompt window?

I’m asking a lot so thank you in advance if you can help

You will need to start your script using cscript.
The code for this comes from http://ask.metafilter.com/79481/vbscript-printing-to-command-line
This allows the echos to go to the command line instead of a Message box.

CheckStartMode
strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")

For Each objDisk in colDisks
    If(objDisk.DeviceID="C:" or objDisk.DeviceID="D:") then
        Wscript.Echo "DeviceID: " & objDisk.DeviceID & " with a Disk Size: " & objDisk.Size
        TotalSize = CCur(TotalSize) + CCur(objDisk.Size)
    End if
Next
If(TotalSize <450000000000 or TotalSize >550000000000) then
    Wscript.Echo "Disk size of " & TotalSize & " is out of range."
    Wscript.Echo "Press enter to contine."
    z = WScript.StdIn.Read(1)
End if

Wscript.Echo "Complete, Press enter to end."
z = WScript.StdIn.Read(1)
Sub CheckStartMode
     ' Returns the running executable as upper case from the last \ symbol
     strStartExe    = UCase( Mid( wscript.fullname, instrRev(wscript.fullname, "\") + 1 ) )

     If Not strStartExe = "CSCRIPT.EXE" Then
          ' This wasn't launched with cscript.exe, so relaunch using cscript.exe explicitly!
          ' wscript.scriptfullname is the full path to the actual script

          set           oSh = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
          oSh.Run   "cscript.exe """ & wscript.scriptfullname & """"
          wscript.quit

     End If
End Sub
