Hi,
I found the below code to do almost exactly what I want but for every drive in my system. I only want to get it for one specific drive. Is there any way to modify the following

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colDiskPartitions = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_DiskPartition where ")
For each objPartition in colDiskPartitions
    Wscript.Echo "Block Size: " & vbTab &  objPartition.BlockSize     
    Wscript.Echo "Bootable: " & vbTab &  objPartition.Bootable 
    Wscript.Echo "Boot Partition: " & vbTab &  objPartition.BootPartition
    Wscript.Echo "Description: " & vbTab &  objPartition.Description
    Wscript.Echo "Device ID: " & vbTab &  objPartition.DeviceID       
    Wscript.Echo "Disk Index: " & vbTab &  objPartition.DiskIndex     
    Wscript.Echo "Index: " & vbTab &  objPartition.Index       
    Wscript.Echo "Name: " & vbTab &  objPartition.Name 
    Wscript.Echo "Number Of Blocks: " & vbTab &  _
        objPartition.NumberOfBlocks     
    Wscript.Echo "Primary Partition: " & vbTab &  _
        objPartition.PrimaryPartition   
    Wscript.Echo "Size: " & vbTab &  objPartition.Size 
    Wscript.Echo "Starting Offset: " & vbTab &  _
        objPartition.StartingOffset     
    Wscript.Echo "Type: " & vbTab &  objPartition.Type 
Next

Win32_DiskPartition identifies partitions by Disk starting at zero followed by partition number on the Disk starting at 0.

To get the map of partitions to drives use the Win32_LogicalDiskTopartition, parameter Dependant will contain the drives letter Antecedent will contain the Disk and Partition numbers for that drive letter.

Extract the "Disk #x, Partition #x" from the Antecedant.

So if I want info for drive C: when Dependent contains C: then Antecedent contains the disk and partition e.g.

Antecedent: \\mypcname\root\cimv2:Win32_DiskPartition.DeviceID="Disk #0, Partition #1"
Dependent: \\mypcname\root\cimv2:Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID="C:"

Now you can take the "Disk #0, Partition #1" and use it in your Win32_DiskPartitions query.

"SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskPartition WHERE Name='Disk #0, Partition #1'"

And that will be the information for drive C:

I recommend you use the WMICodeCreator tool from Microsoft to quickly test out WMI commands, it also writes the code for you so you can cut and paste.
