Forget the "in advance"; I just tried it more properly and you're
right!!  Sorry about that!

irb(main):015:0> rio('C:/').files[].size

I know for sure that these drives don't all have 15 files/directories
in their roots!

I'll shut up about Rio right about now...

However, my Ruby IS installed on drive E, whereas it was definitely
listing drive C.  Trying it again just now with a fresh IRB runtime: an
attempt to list drive F listed drive C.  I think C is just the default
drive, not the "where Ruby's installed" drive.

Cheers,
Gavin
