eh thats not what I meant, I don't want to see a value of GB in %, I want the skin to show the usage of drive, like the skin of Gadgets in the image I uploaded.

[MeasureDiskAccess]
; Measures disk access of the C: drive.
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PerfMon
PerfMonObject=LogicalDisk
PerfMonCounter=Disk Bytes/sec
PerfMonInstance=C:

i got this working for my 'c:' drive, but i cant figure out how to make it work for my other drives as well. my guess is the calculation would have to use diferent values but i have no idea what to change or add since nothing other than "PerfMonInstance="C:"" seems to point to a specific drive and i changed that to "d:" or more specific "#disk2#" in my case.
so i am guessing that something here would have to be changed as well:
since i just installed rainmeter yesterday and tinkered around with it for a day i am out of ideas, so if anybody could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!

A simple way to think of it, is PhysicalDisk relates to your physical device (actual hard drive device), whereas LogicalDisk relates to the drive that you have a drive letter assigned to. These are often the same thing. Where it is different is when you have partitioned your physical drive. For example, you could have Western Digital HDD with 3 partitions, assigned letters C:, D:, and E:. So your HDD is 1 physical disk, while your 3 partitions are 3 logical disks.
You won't find PhysicalDisk of much value: 1) because of partitioning, the read/write data for PhysicalDisk applies to all logical drives on that physical drive, and 2) the biggest issue is that the PhysicalDisk identifier (an integer) is determined at boot time, so if you have multiple hard drives, one may be device #0 today, and tomorrow it could be device #1.
