Additional hard drives

[SilverAzide]

The Drives Meter gadget only shows physical hard drives, not network drives. Do you have more than two physical drives? If so, the next question for you is what are the drive letters? By default, the gadget shows drives C: to L:, but if your drives are beyond L:, you will need to edit a file to adjust the list of drives being monitored. Open the file
C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Gadgets\@Resources\DrivesVariables.inc. Locate the variables D01 to D10 and change the drive letters to whatever you want.

Code: Select all

;
; physical disk drives to monitor
;
; Enter the drive letters for up to 10 physical or removable drives (the colon is required).
; Network drives and CD ROM drives are ignored.
;
D01="C:"
D02="D:"
D03="E:"
D04="F:"
D05="G:"
D06="H:"
D07="I:"
D08="J:"
D09="K:"
D10="L:"

So for example, if you have a drive Z:, you'd change D10 from "L:" to "Z:".

I modified the original 2 Disks file to support the 9 JBOD drives I have. By pure chance, all my drives are labelled C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K in order (which you can find grouped together at the top of the file), so modify as you need to. If you have fewer than 9 drives, all you need to do is remove groups at the bottom of the file {[meterLabelDisk], [meterValueDisk], [meterBarDisk]}.

I couldn't figure out how to add the proper code block, so here is a link to the file on github.

Enjoy.

There are no meters named [meterLabelDisk], [meterValueDisk] or [meterBarDisk]. Instead they are [meterLabelDiskX], [meterValueDiskX] and [meterBarDiskX], where X is the appropriate number.
Additionally removing the meters is not enough, the corresponding measures should also be removed. For instance if there is no K: drive (corresponding to disk9 variable), you should remove the [meterLabelDisk9], [meterValueDisk9] and [meterBarDisk9] meters, as well as the corresponding [measureTotalDisk9] and [measureUsedDisk9] measures.
