not indexing external drive

Post by gordons »

Hi Everyone

I'm running XP SP3, main drive C also have USB external drive F which is a permanent fixture.

I've just installed Everything v1.2.1.371 and am amazed at the speed which it indexed however it only indexed drive C, no index for drive F and unfortunately drive F is where I store most of my data

Is there something I should/should not have done to get drive F indexed?

Is F formatted NTFS?


What does Tools | Options | Volumes show?

showing as FAT32.

can you explain how I would change to NTFS and would this change affect anything?

thanks for your help.
