Welcome aboard.
Just do the followings: first create two new folders into the Skins\mii system skin 2\HDD\ folder. Name them HDD5, respectively HDD6. Then copy the content of the HDD1 folder into both previously created folders. This gives you two .ini files in each newly created folder: hdd1.ini and hdd1 bar.ini. Rename these files as hdd5.ini and hdd5 bar.ini (the files into HDD5), respectively hdd6.ini and hdd6 bar.ini (in HDD6).
Open each of newly copied files and replace all instances of C: with the drive letters you'd like to use (so replace it with G: into hdd5.ini and hdd5 bar.ini and with H: into hdd6.ini and hdd6 bar.ini). Save and close everything.
Now make refresh of all (right click the Rainmeter icon into the notification area and click Refresh all).
Now you can load the newly added skins.
If all these seem too complicated, please let me know and I'll pack the needed files and upload the package. But first (just for learning and fun), would be great to try to handle what I've described above.
