I had a rock solid app that I wrote die on me yesterday because it tried to access a folder and Windows returned "Drive is corrupt," which of course I hadn't handled because that will never happen.
Out of drive space is the worst, though. Like you say, most things don't handle it, they just plough headlong into an install and then die, leaving the whole drive in a horrible unknown mess of files where you might or might not be able to retry the operation, and you might or might not have used up the last few bytes on the drive and now for some reason when you try to reboot it can't even boot the system up because it can't write some temp file it needs.
