On unix you can parse output of df, and on windows I'm not entirely sure
but doesn't dir command tell you how much space is left on drive? So you
can keep trying cd X:; dir; starting with C and until you run out of drives..
You can tell if it's a cd if it's under 650mb and has no free space at all.
