I have installed SSD hard drive which I am using for my OS and also Programs etc. &nbsp;However my data is on another drive.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to see which processes are accessing my Data drive - and what files are they accessing. &nbsp;For example when I launch chrome I am hearing my old drive been accessed but no reason why? &nbsp;Nothing in the settings are pointing to the old drive - it should be purely on the SSD?<br />

Thoughts? (I have Windows 7)<br />
