The question Eli raises is whether you need that info about
all drives in _each_ Dired directory listing. I don't hear
you saying "yes". 

I think what you are asking for is just to be able to go up
(`..') in Dired from some drive listing such as c: or d: to
the My Computer level, where you would see the space etc.
info for all drives - just as you do now in Windows
Explorer. Isn't that what you want?
