Everything doesn't see an external hard drive

Post by DavidShooter »

I use Everything to search for files on my desktop and it does so flawlessly, even with ten external drives. However when I have one external drive attached to my laptop computer (WIN10) Everything only sees the C: drive. I had two externals plugged in through a hub and changed that to having just one of those running directly into a USB 3 port, with no better results. Navigator saw the two hard drives by the way so this doesn't seem to be a Windows problem.

I've gone into Everything and tried Force Rebild, and that hasn't helped.

Thoughts?

Everything will automatically add your NTFS volumes to your Everything index.

To manually add your non-NTFS to your Everything index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your external volume and click OK.
  • Click OK.
