System Restore on External HDD


Recommended Posts

Hi All, I am using Windows7.....very good, but have one small problem that I hope some kind soul can help me with.

I have an external HDD (with mostly music) which I leave connected to my computer most of the time. My question is, is there a way to turn off system restore JUST for the HDD so that I do not end up with a (useless) growing 'system volume information' file on the external drive?

It was easy with XP, but I cannot find a way with Windows7.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Rigt-click on Computer -> properties. On the left pane click on system protection, choose an hdd from the list click on configure and choose turn off.

Hi slinky333,

Thanks for the reply, it worked a treat.....I honestly searched for a whole evening, but for some reason (I'm crap with computers) I was unable to find this.....so thanks again for showing the way.
