How Many Drives or Partitions Do You Have?

Help Me Skin DX

Published on December 5, 2012 By RedneckDude In OS Customization

I'd like to get an idea how many drives/partitions the average user has. It will help me to determine the best number of drives to leave space for when I use the self expanding drive meters I use in my DX themes.

I have 5 drives/partitions, more when using a flash drive or SD card. So I like space for 7 or 8.

But if the end user only has one or two, there'll be a lot of wasted space left over.....looks funny.

Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you guys would tell how many drives/partitions you have.

EDIT: Please omit CD/DVD drives as they do not show up in the meter.
