you need to SELECT INTO if you want to set a varaible in plpgsql

try this:
DECLARE
  var_free integer; 
  -- var_free is used just to name it differently from the column name

  SELECT INTO var_free 
        free from logical_drive where computer_id = $1  and
letter = upper($2); 
  IF var_free THEN 
...
