Make Conky detects external hard drive space

[CypherHackz]

Hi,

I have two hard drives. One is run Ubuntu and one is for Windows. My Conky config can detect the Ubuntu drive space correctly.

But how I can make it to check and detect my Windows hard drive (which has 3 parttions)? And then make it to display the hard drive space on the desktop?

Thank you.

Assuming you can view your Windows partitions in Ubuntu File Browser go to your file system /Media folder and open it up. Note the names of your partitions in this folder. I only have 1 partition for XP Pro and 1 for Ubuntu and the lines I added to conkyrc are:

${color white}Disk Partitions:
${color white}Ubuntu: /home ${color white}${fs_used /home}/${fs_size /home} ${fs_free_perc /home}% ${color white}free)
${color white}Windows XP: ${color white}${fs_used /media/Windows XP Pro}${color white}/${color white}${fs_size /media/Windows XP Pro} ${color white}(${color white}${fs_free /media/Windows XP Pro}, ${fs_free_perc /media/Windows XP Pro}% ${color white}free)

After /media change the names to your partition names in the above lines. If you have 3 partitions you will need to insert the lines 3 times to get what you are looking for. I also attach a screenshot of what my Conky looks like. I hope this helps you out!

thanks for the response. but it is not for my case.

as i said in my post, i have two hard drives. what i want is, to detect the another hard drive partitions and not the partitions in the same hard drive where i install ubuntu. :)

let makes it clear.

HD1: Partition 1: Ubuntu; Partition 2: Download; Partition 3: Movies
HD2: Partition 1: Windows; Partition 2: My Files; Partition 3: Program Files

So, what I want is to detect the partitions in HD2 and not in HD1. I already success in detect the partitions in HD1. Only HD2 still no success.

Again, thanks. :)
