Hi Joe,

Try the following:

1. While on the desktop, go into "my computer"

2. Arrow down or even right or left till you come to something that might
say "local drive C:". 
This is the actual hard drive of your computer which contains all of your
information including the  operating system.

3. Once you have arrowed too and identified this icon, press and hold down
the "left alt key and then press the enter key once".
Now remove your hands.
Note: What has happened here is that you have just opened up the hard drive
properties window which contains useful information which you are looking
for.

In this next part we will use the jaws cursor to scroll down the screen to
see what information jaws will provide to us.

4. Now route jaws cursor to the PC cursor by using keys, "jaws key + dash
key" all on the number pad.
Jaws will say, "Route jaws to PC"

5. Now again using the Numpad, press the number 9 key and jaws will say
"page up"

6. Now using the number 2 key you will move down the information screen a
line at a time and if you listen carefully to each line jaws will give you
the information on the size of your hard drive, including how much is used
and how much is free.

Once finished, press the numpad PC cursor key which is really the "plus key"
and then press the "escape key" to exit out of the hard drive properties.

Paul.
