external hard drive

Post by wyee »

Hello.
first off, I really think that "Everything is awesome!" (probably been done, but what the heck). I am new to it, and I think it is excellent.
I have an extenal hard drive that I use a lot, mainly for movies and stuff so that they won't clutter my hard disk. I can't seem to work out how to search it with everything. can someone please help?

Try including this volume in the Everything index:
  • In Everything from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab.
  • Select the external hard drive
  • Check Include in database.
  • Click OK.
If the volume is not listed, you may need to convert to NTFS.

To convert to NTFS, please see:

Note: you can only view NTFS volumes on Windows.

If you do not with to convert to NTFS, please consider folder indexing:
