Hello Fellow Mac Users...
I have a G5 Mac 2.7 PPC (OSX 10.5.8). And a couple of Ext. Hard drives.
My Book Essential (3 TB) was formatted by me: Mac Os Extended (Journaled) and happy with it for almost 6 months now. I have about 1TB left but I can't "search" for files using the SPOTLIGHT within FINDER. (yes, even when I clicked on "My Book 1" next to This Mac)...
I checked everything under the DISK UTILITY and even clicked on VERIFY. No issues whatsoever. It checked for:
• Journaled HFS Plus Volume
• Extensts Overflow file
• Catalog File
• Multi-linked Files
• Catalog Hierarchy
• Extended Attributes File
• Multi-Linked Directories
• Volume Bitmap
• Volume Information
And everything is fine...under the INFO button (within the DISK UTILITY) I clicked on the INFO button and all of these info came out fine:
Name : My Book 1
Type : Volume
Disk Identifier : disk2s3
Mount Point : /Volumes/My Book 1
File System : Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Connection Bus : USB
Writable : Yes
Universal Unique Identifier : 75471D4A-0A40-3D56-87A2-C60FD8396A3E
Capacity : 2.7 TB (3,000,424,431,616 Bytes)
Free Space : 1.1 TB (1,177,219,317,760 Bytes)
Used : 1.7 TB (1,823,205,113,856 Bytes)
Number of Files : 880,511
Number of Folders : 176,134
Owners Enabled : Yes

Can Repair Permissions : No
Can Be Verified : Yes
Can Be Repaired : Yes

Bootable : Yes
Supports Journaling : Yes
Journaled : Yes
Disk Number : 2

On my old LACIE ext. Hard Drive formatted the same way, I have no problems with it in terms of searching. How come I can't search of anything?
Is there a way to Index it? How do I fix this drive? I am tired of going through the folders and clicking on the specific file.
Thank you very much and I appreciate your help! Please respond or email me via this site.
Warmest regards,
