It should not be turned on for other HD's or other partitions.
The only place it's needed is the main C: drive, but you should
be able to turn it off completely if you use ERUNT.

Thanks a bunch Clint, I'll check the program out. I got caught
once with
way too much in restore and it slowed my computer down quite a
bit.
I just keep checking it now. I also reduce the memory amount
aloted to
that program.
Happy 4th
Larry Browning
Have a great day
