Seeing a disc drive run.

W7 RC

I have an old eIDE drive running as F G H & I It used to make a very distinctive rumble. When I fitted the new Barracuda it sounded more like a tearing noise. It was noticeably quicker.

Fine, without reverence to any visual aid, I could tell which drive was running. Suddenly this has stopped.

Now, writing to, and reading from, seems perfect, but the reassuring rumble isn't there. Short of disabling the new drive for a test, how can I achieve a visual aid to tell me which drive is going? I just have a gut feeling that I may be being deceived.



Whatever happened to individual LEDs ????
