Do you not see any data under the Disk Free Space (D) panel?

Are you using a language other than English and do not have English installed on your Windows server? English is the default language set in the command used to gather disk data.

Override the command being used to gather disk information and change the language being used.

Edit your bin\localenv.bat (copy it from localenv.batx if you do not already have one) and add this line:

set DFCMD=wmic logicaldisk get compressed,deviceid,drivetype,filesystem,freespace,name,size,status,statusinfo,volumename,volumeserialnumber /format:"%WINDIR%\System32\wbem\en-US\csv"

Change en-US in this line to a language you do have installed. It will be in %WINDIR%\system32\wbem.

For example, if you run German on your server, change en-US in the line above to de-DE.  

Be sure to test the command manually at the command line to verify it works as expected before committing it to bin\localenv.bat.
