but it takes up too many resources....

That's because it is NOT easy to
programatically redirect the disk activity indicators
through the keyboard controller.

Pay the man/woman for the program, he/she worked
hard on it, diddling the hardware at this level AND
getting security-conscious OS's like XP to not disallow
it is tough indeed.

If you want it for free, figure out how to write
it yourself or take apart your keyboard and
mount some LED's in it, then run a cable to
the HDD LED's in your system case.

But they're for MODEM lights.

Querying a COM port for its status is much
easier...

Quit whining and PAY for what you want.
