Hi Pablo,

About the best I can do is to ask what GetLastError() returns in this situation and to quote the MS Win 32 SDK about the parameter that specifies the drive. So...

"lpRootPathName
Points to a string that contains the root directory of the volume to be described. If this parameter is NULL, the root of the current directory is used. If this parameter is a UNC name, you must follow it with an additional backslash. For example, you would specify \\MyServer\MyShare as \\MyServer\MyShare\."

All this indicates to me that it should work with NTFS and that the function is supported on NT.
