Is there a disk activity utility available that can sit in the System
Tray or in the Quick Launch area? And one that shows what is causing
the activity? I have an external drive which I use only for backup.
Today, it is showing significant activity and I don't know why. The
activity also seems to be slowing down my PC. Thanks.........

Thank you. Is there a way to monitor all three of my disks with
separate tray indicators? The indicators would have to identify
thenselves with which disk they represented.

I don't know, I have never tried it.

Monitoring drives unnecessarily surely merely exacerbates the problem
you are concerned about?
