Free Hard Drive Space

Here's a routine that checks a hard drive for free space.
If there's less than about 1GB, turn the window red and report.

@echo.
@echo Checking disk space...
@echo.
@FOR /f "tokens=3 delims=/ " %%G IN ('dir c:^| findstr free') DO (set FreeSpace=%%G)
@FOR /f "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=," %%i IN ("%FreeSpace%") DO (set FreeVar1=%%i& set FreeVar2=%%j& set FreeVar3=%%k& set FreeVar4=%%l)
@set x=%FreeVar1%%FreeVar2%%FreeVar3%%FreeVar4%
:: Convert bytes to megabytes...
@set /A x/=1048576
@echo.
@If %x% LSS 1000 echo Drive C: only has %x%MB left!& color cf& @echo.& @pause

Above +2,147,483,647, script math fails to be accurate.
2,147,483,647 converted to gigabytes is 1.9999GB, but because it rounds down, it rounds to 1GB.
Since this script is looking for sizes below 1GB, and it's silent above that, it will produce accurate reports.
