It is off topic here , though you can get the info using following cmd

wmic logicaldisk

or ,

diskpart then list volume

The PowerShell way is:

PS C:\> $Disk = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DeviceID = 'C:'"
PS C:\> $DiskPartition = $Disk.GetRelated('Win32_DiskPartition')
PS C:\> $DiskDrive = $DiskPartition.GetRelated('Win32_DiskDrive')
PS C:\> $DiskDrive.Size
1024203640320

This is nicely explained here.

But the original question was about how to do this with CMD.

C:\>wmic diskdrive get model,name,size
Model                       Name                Size
SAMSUNG MZVLB1T0HALR-000L7  \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0  1024203640320
Generic- SD/MMC USB Device  \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1

Given a choice, I prefer to use the PowerShell method, starting from the drive letter and working up to the physical disk. It's rather verbose but it gives a unique answer, and requires no knowledge of the system. (Some devices have many physical disks and it can get confusing.)

"find internal hard disk information where system window installed."

wmic logicaldisk where caption="%systemdrive%" get /value

Note: logicaldisk is a partition on an physical drive (the only one, if you are lucky, but there may be more partitions on the same physical drive)
