yes, you can use multiple hdd-docklets. to configure the drive to monitor do the following: right click docklet - configure - meters - take the meter 'space_gb' - configure - configure - 'logic drives' in the dropdown menu - 'mb free' on the left - then choose the drive ou want to monitor on the right.
do the same steps with the 'space_percent'-meter, but instead of choosing 'mb free' choose 'free space (%)'.
good luck

Sorry for such a stupid issue, but i am unable to get this docklet to appear in my OD docklet properties. I have unzipped the file and added it to the OD docklet directory. I have tried 2 methods. FIrst i unzipped it & added the sysstats folder to the docklet folder in OD. After restarting OD - i had no success - the second method that i tried was adding individual folders for each of the monitoring files - i.e created a Hard drive folder for the HD & PIC and the same for the ram monitor. neither has worked for me - I love the way the icons look & want to take advantage of this awesome looking monitoring device - Please assist - I feel so stupid - i know that it is something easy - but i'm all thubms right now!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

hi pradag, before you unzip my hdd + ram config files you have to install the sysstats docklet itself, mine is only a plugin for sysstats. get it here https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=4271&libid=29

Thanks for the tip on the config. I def was missing something stupid - rather than configuring the logical disk I was trying to configure the physical disk. Oops. It works great now. Any ideas on how to set it to open the contents of the drive rather than explorer? I have tried, but to no avail.

you can choose which drive or path the explorer should display. go to the tab 'controllers', click 'shortcut' on the right, configure, and then put this in the 'arguments' field: "/e,/n,c:/somefolder". instead of 'c:/somefolder' you can choose any path on any drive.

Sweet. That worked well. I am just curious, what does the "/e" and the "/n" designate? I do have one more problem/bug - whenever OD is shutdown and restarted the hdd's (I have two, C: and F:) settings are set to the F: docklet settings (both docklets have same name, meters, etc.). Sorry to keep bombarding you with questions, but I don't wanna give this meter pack up!

hi, i think the problem is, that you need a new config file for an additional docklet, because everytime you close the dock, both docklets save their state to the same config file.
to fix this just take one of the docklets, right click, save as, and type some name. then change the drive letter in the config of both docklets an save them. this should work.

Hi, this is a very nice docklet. Is there a possibility to set up the docklet as dropicon, if i like to drop files directly over the driveicon and put it in the targetdrive, i tried it myself but it has no effect.
Tnx for helping

Hi. Thanks for all the previous info. I have downloaded all aspects needed. The Ram is working ok but the hd shows 0gb. I followed the instructions on configuring the stat (choose logical disk and select the drive), but i find that nothing has changed and when i reopen the configuration, it has returned to the original processor option, i.e, it hasn't changed anything.any suggestions?
