CDrom monitor?

My new Sony VAIO is great, but there are no activity lights for the two DVDRoms for me to see when the DVDRoms are spinning. I'm looking for a free program that would put those lights in my taskbar and they would maybe change colors (or blink or something) when one of the drives is in use. I've seen this program before but now I can't find it. Does anyone have an idea as to what I'm looking for, or better yet, where I might find it?

Thanks,
JTN

You can configure it for CD-Roms too.

Thats a nice little tool... now if it only would do different colors for different drives... that would totaly kick ass.

Have you tried loading it more than once? I don't remember, but it may support multiple copies running.
