in thread Error with GetDRIVE() when using a mapped drive

Weird... What is that Y: drive, then? A mapped network share? Can you see its properties the "normal" way?

Is it in the Drives collection? - i.e. would my code snippet try to list it?

      Hmmm... that's 2.5 TB - works here with 8 TB ... That raises the following questions:
      • do the numbers look correct, if you execute in a command line shell
        wmic logicaldisk where DeviceID="Y:"

      • are you using a 64bit or 32bit Perl?
        (Although that shouldn't matter, works here with 5.14.2 i386 and 5.18.2 x64)
      • Versions of Perl, Win32::OLE, Windows (also, 64 or 32 bit Windows)?
