Need Help Editing Skin to Properly Show both HDDs Capacity

[Zack_Myers234]

Hey all! I got a Rainmeter skin and it has the capability to display the capacity of multiple HDD. I have my standard C:\ drive (internal hard drive) and my E:\ drive (external hard drive). But there seems to be a problem, which I encountered with my previous Rainmeter skin when I had to unplug all of my USB devices.

It's properly displaying my C:\, great, that's what it's supposed to do. But it's not properly displaying my E:\ drive. It says that my external hard drive is completely full when know it has more than 700GB of free space. I'm sure that I edited the file properly, but in case I didn't, here's the code for it.

Code: Select all

Make sure you add IgnoreRemovable=0 to any measures that are reading a USB or other external HDD.

http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/freediskspace#IgnoreRemovable

[Zack_Myers234]

Where in the code do I add IgnoreRemovable=0?

[jsmorley]

There are a couple of things I see:

In the [Variables] section, there is defined:

Drive1=C:\
Drive2=D:\

You are going to want to make that:

Drive1=C:\
Drive2=E:\

Later the measures involved with the "second" hard drive are:

Code: Select all

;==========  HD D:  ============

[MeasureTotalE]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=C:
Total=1

[HD2]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive2#
Total=0
Label=0
InvertMeasure=1

[HD2_BAR]
MeasureName=HD2
Meter=ROUNDLINE
X=-51
Y=135
W=150
H=45
LineLength=68
LineStart=65
StartAngle=-6.28159265
RotationAngle=-1.95 ;.14159265
LineColor=#C1#
Solid=1
AntiAlias=1

[HD2_T]
Meter=string
Text=E:
x=137r
y=30r
FontColor=#C1#
FontFace=#F1#
FontSize=#S1#
AntiAlias=1

First off, you might want to change this measure in that section:

[MeasureTotalE]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=C:
Total=1

It appears you want the total of "E:" but it is reading "C:" I would change it to Drive=#Drive2# just like in the measure right below it.

Then you need to add IgnoreRemovable=0 to:

[MeasureTotalE]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive2#
Total=1
IgnoreRemovable=0

[HD2]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive2#
InvertMeasure=1
IgnoreRemovable=0

That did it! Thank you very much!

Glad to help.
