I will never get tired of freebies and promotions. Today I’ll share with you another freebie which I just discovered. So far this promotion is still unknown to anyone and searching in Google yield 0 results. Most of the freebie software that I shared with you belonged to the same category but this one is totally different and I believe it will be very useful to anyone who is using a Windows computer.

This software is called DriveLED 2 by O&O Software and it is used to monitor the condition and activity of your system’s drives at all times. The good thing about DriveLED is the possibility for you to backup your data and change out the potentially affected data volume, before the hard disk fails. Now we no longer need to be afraid of sudden hard drive failure which result in important data loses.

O&O DriveLED 2 normally cost $19.95 but it’ll be totally FREE if you follow the steps below.


Because hard disk drives contain parts designed to operate with precision to the nearest micro inch or at speeds topping as many a thousand of revolutions per minute, the possibility of a malfunction rises with the age of the hard disk. However, the possibility of a failure and subsequent loss of data is now easily controllable with O&O DriveLED 2.

With O&O DriveLED 2 you have a reliable partner that accurately tells you when it is time to backup your important data or even if it is necessary to replace the hard disk. With this free DriveLED 2 license in your computer, you will remain constantly informed as to the condition of your hard disks and, most importantly, be warned in the event of a pending malfunction. O&O DriveLED not only contributes greatly to your system’s security and the sustained availability of your data, but is the correct solution for SMART inspections of your hard disk.

I ran SMART Self Test using O&O DriveLED 2 on both of my laptop and desktop. Desktop hard drive detected no problem but I got “uncorrectable read error (0×7)” on my laptop. I knew long ago that my hard drive has problems because everyday I’ll hear a loud “TAK” noise coming from my hard drive whenever I put a little stress on it. I am now convinced that I should do a full backup of my laptop. The official page for O&O DriveLED 2 only states that it can run in Windows XP, 2000, 2003 Server, NT 4.0. I tried on Windows Vista and it works like a charm. Very useful tool!
