HDD Access Monitoring

by windranger Feb 23, 2008 6:21PM PST

Hello,

I'm looking for a little program that monitors the access (reading, writing) of the hard disk by any of the programs running at a certain moment and shows this information in REAL TIME.

No other features needed.

(Only if possible, it should be able to control/restrict the access to the HDD by the aplication that I indicate.)

If somebody knows such a program, please advise.

Thanks

Not available today except by "permissions." I decline to write about permissions and how we can use them to stop a program's access (program runs in some login pretext and as such we can control it's access...)
