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?
