Hard Drive Indicator


 Share

Recommended Posts

Anyone done this sort of thing, searched and came up with nada?

Basically a set of lights, one for each of my hard drives, on the desktop or in the taskbar, to show which hard drive is being accessed.

And yes, I know that there is freeware that does this job, but I want a version I can customise.

Thanks for any help or pointers. :whistle:

Hmm, this doesn't seem fun:

That was probably the most in-depth way to do it though, I don't feel like poking through all the win32 api calls to see if there is a simple one just to get disk activity. You can look for yourself though:
