External USB drive not shown in the NTFS-List

Post by Katermerlin »

Looking at the drive list I cannot find the drive letter of an USB drive, which is attached to my PC...
(A different one is shown.)
However, I can choose folders from the respective drive to be searched in...

Can sombody help me?
Thanx a lot.

Most USB drives are not NTFS formatted.
So I guess that is also the case for your one.

Thank you. You are right, It's Fat32. I forgot this.

Question: Can I somehow include this drive inspite?
Or do I have to specify all folders...?

Just add the top level of this drive as Folder index.
