...do it with Samurize.
I've been running it with multiple drives (CD and DVD) and it's actually really simple - if there is interest I can release it ?

yes please release 
That would be really cool if you could release it. I look forward to it Crni.
I would also like to see this... :canadian:
This is so small and simple that I don't even consider it to be a 'release'. It's more like template for some future releases. This is just basic media detection config but if you look in to it - there are much more options that can be added (media type, media size,volume label . . .)
Read the included readme file for instructions and let me now how it works .

Hey crni, what icons are you talking about in your readme file ?? I don't have any in the version I just downloaded except for the noicon icon. Where can I get the Excellence icons at ??
Thanks for the help !!
Thanks Crni great job

I tried to get permission for releasing some icons with this config ( I made config with hard drives with led indicator + cd detection)
but I got no reply so I release just this template. (Just igore that - I already updated file )
thanks crnibut i get a error
when i try to edit the config file, this is the message i get:

I don't now what to say to you - I had no error of any kind with this config.
Config do not uses any 3rd party plugin or script only what's already built in Samurize.

Same problem here. 
edit: found the problem the WMI setting in the config are what cause this problems (atleast in my case)
After I deleted those 3 lines, i didn't got that error anymore
WMIClass=Win32_CDROMDrive
Instance=DeviceID="IDE\\CDROMSONY_DVD-ROM_DDU1612____________________DYS1____\\5&1B10C656&0&0.1.0"
WMIProperty=MediaLoaded
It works
if like SicZero said i erased the lines
WMIClass=Win32_CDROMDrive
Instance=DeviceID="IDE\\CDROMSONY_DVD-ROM_DDU1612____________________DYS1____\\5&1B10C656&0&0.1.0"
WMIProperty=MediaLoaded
then edit the config and choose my drive
thx
Funny thing - when I delete those lines I got error
It's really so simple that anyone can make it for himself.
Open config editor.
Add WMI meter
Switch to 'Source'
Click on 'Change settings'
From the WMI class select 'Win32_CDROMDrive'
From Instances select your device
From Properties select 'Media Loaded' and Click OK
Check 'Run more frequently' and move slider to 1s
Switch to 'General'
Change type to image
Check 'Enable alert value' - select 'Value Equals' and in 'Value:' box write word True
Select your image in 'AlertImageFilename'
Resize image (Switch to 'Display' and click on 'Reset Size')
Save your config and you are done.
I you have multiple drives just copy/paste this meter and select different device.
That's it
thanks guys
SicZero's great job on troubleshooting and fixing the problem for some of us
and ofcourse thanks crni, pretty cool idea
Funny thing - when I delete those lines I got error
hehe
I've got some troubles running this. When selected win32_cdromdrive it doesn't appear any property to select. Anyway I've tryed with win32_logicaldisk
Class: Win32_LogicalDisk
Instance: DeviceID="Your drive:"
Property: VolumeDirt
and it seems to work, by selecting the alert with the keyword =False
It would be great if we find a way to get it work with usb/removable media, isn't it?
(this way doesn't work with usb drives... :cry: )
B-Sided
i found these in WMI:
Class: Win32_SystemDriver
Instance: Name="USBSTOR"
Property: State
it has a value "running" when my USB HD pluged in.
maybe different with "Instance" for each computer...
So this doesnt work with removable media? Oh well....
Work fine for me and my USB bar...
Class: Win32_SystemDriver
Instance: Name="usbstor"
Property: State -> Running
Thanks !
Wuaaaaaaaaah !!!!! It works!!! Thanks m8's...
You can make also the icon clickable:
Open config editor:
add Meter->add Text
Resize the square to make it the same measure as the icon
In general check Allow Meter-Linkage
Link Meter To: put the letter of your drive
now go to display tab
And delete form Text:The text of your choice... ( don't put anything else here)
Save and reload
With this trick the icon will be clickable only if the disk is inserted

You don't have to create another text meter - just link png image to drive letter :smartass:
