Which platform are you using? On a Linux-based system you might look
at the contents of /proc/partitions and then, presumably with Python,
parse the contents to yield a number of blocks for the hard disk in
question. This quantity would then be converted into a more familiar
measure.

One might expect something like PSI to support this kind of
activity...
