Doesn't search new external drive

Post by GeorgeT »

Hi,

I just obtained a new WD external hard drive and Everything doesn't search it. It searched my old one without a problem. It's set up as drive Q: on my computer. Do I have to do something to set it up?

Thanks for your help.

That depends on your current configuration :)
The relevant settings can be found under Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > NTFS
(assuming this drive is NTFS formatted)
  • If you want to include all disks automatically:
    • enable Automatically include new fixed volumes
    • enable Automatically include new removable volumes
  • If you want to include specifically your Q:-drive:
    • Click on this drive in the Local NTFS Volumes box
    • check all boxes under Settings for Local Disk (Q:)
