<tr class=hdr>
    <th class="al cf">Name</th>
    <th class="al">Type</th>
    <th class="ar">Used Drive Space</th>
    <th class="ar cl">Drive Size</th>
</tr>
<tr class="first o">
    <td class="al cf">ITPHOFPWRFL01B E:\ Label:LotusDomino </td>
    <td class="al">drive space</td>

You should be using an html parser like htmlagilitypack.

You can use below code to retrieve it using HtmlAgilityPack

using (OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog())
{
    openFileDialog.Filter = "HTML files|*.html;*.htm";
    if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
        doc.Load(openFileDialog.FileName);
        foreach (var node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//*[@class='first o']"))
        {
            foreach(var node2 in node.SelectNodes(".//td"))
            {
                txtContent.Text += node2.InnerHtml + " || ";
            }
        }
    }
}
