The MSDN page for that function warns:
"The GetDiskFreeSpace function cannot report volume sizes that are
greater than 2 gigabytes (GB). To ensure that your application works
with large capacity hard drives, use the GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function."

Make sure to keep that in mind if you're recording free disk space
someplace, rather than just checking for enough space to do an install
or something.
