How to make a report showing just C: drive free space, only on Win2008 R2 machines?

I just I am just not getting the base concepts or something. I need a report that shows me the free space on just the C: drive, and just on my Win2008 R2 clients. (The R2 Service Pack 1 won't install if there is not at least 8G free space, so I'm trying to find that out ahead of time). I see the example Inventory and Volume Status reports, but what I don't get is how to make a filter that specify that the volume is just drive C:, and that the OS is "Windows 2008 R2". I see that there is a field called "Vendor", but that seems to only have the value "Windows", which is too broad .

So: what fields do I need to filter for a condition like 'OS = Microsoft Windows 2008 R2', and also filter for a condition like "Volume = C:\"? I see where I can choose the "Available Free Space", but not how to limit the report to only 1 volume.

Thanks, and sorry for the dense newbie question.

Try Machine Type as the field for the OS and try VolumeDescription as the variable using wither "contains" or "starts with" as the qualifiers to filter for the C drives.

Thanks. That does it. But how do I specify that the node has to be a VM? When I go add a new field under "Select Fields" or "Filter", I only see "Node","Volumes" and "Polling Engine" as choices; nothing that indicates any of the VM attributes to select to report on, or filter by.

Try using Vendor equal to VMWare.

There Vendor seems to always be "Windows", regardless of whether it is a VM or a physical machine. I see on the ESX reports that those reports have fields that come from a drop down called "Virtual Machines". The fields on that look to be what I want. But how do I get that as a drop down choice on my "Select" fields? The ESX report has "Node Details" and "Virtual Machines"; when I go to select fields, I have a different set of drop down choices.
