Java doesn't offer any access to this kind of information. You'd have to execute an external program, or use native methods.

Hi,
About the last question... Why java cannot access this kind of information?!

In general, Java doesn't have APIs to access things that are intrinsically platform-dependent. Some things that run Java don't have disks, for example, and different OS's treat even the seemingly basic notion of "free space" very differently.
Frankly, though, personally I think this is a weak excuse, and you could make a pretty good case as to why there should be an API for volume info like this.
