Professional DX help needed

This pack auto-generates gauges. One for every ready hard drive. It works fine on my system with 3 drives, and seems to work fine on others. However, on some machines with multiple hard drives, it crashed DX or fails to label the gauges. I need someone who knows what they're doing with DX Script to check 'em out and help me perfect them.

Thanks, folks!

Wrong board...sorry

Gauges for Optical drives

The needle points straight down if the drive isn't ready. No graphic for that yet.

drive.DriveType returns a 1 for a floppy, 2 for a hard drive, and 4 for a CD/DVD. What drive would return a 3? or a 5? How many different types are there?

Worked fine on my CPU. I've got six partitions. Did say it was built with a newer version of DX and asked me if I wanted to continue. What version did you create it for?

Worked fine here.

No floppy, 7 HD partitions all listed correctly.

Using the latest DX2 beta running under winxp sp1.
