[SOLVED] Removable disk not detected.

Post by ABlanquer »

Hello everyone,

Version 1.4.1.1024 (x64) - Installable version of the software.

In the Everything options / Index / NTFS, I check "Automatically include new removable volumes."

Result:
. A search does not find a file that is present on the removable disk E:
. The disk does not appear in the "Local NTFS Volumes" window.

What have I misunderstood?

Best regards,
André Blanquer

The external disk is most likely formatted with exFAT.

To add your external exFAT volume to your Everything index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab on the left.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your external drive (for example: E: drive) and click OK.
  • Click OK.

Hello Void,

Thank you for the information. Everything is fine now.

As we say in France, "it's better to have one who knows than a hundred who are searching"… (with such a principle, we would still live with the Flintstones!)

In any case, thank you very much, Void.

André

P.S.: How can I close this post?
