Is there some sort of freeware / shareware out there that'll index a hard drive for you and then keep a database or something that you can search? Let's say, for example, you have a 1TB external drive that you want to shelf. You pull out the drive, put a clean one in, and you put the old drive away. But then say I want to check if a certain file is on that drive. I'm looking for a quick way to scan through an index file of that drive to see what the contents are without having to mount the drive. Any thoughts? Thanks! |

I happen to use one called Disktracker out of sheer laziness (been using it since OS 9!), and there are many others. Just do a google or MacUpdate search on mac disk cataloging programs. If you own Toast I believe one is actually included in the bundle. |

It can catalog hard disks (internal and external), server volumes, DVD-ROMs, CD-ROMs, iPods, Blu-ray, and USB sticks. Download CDFinder for Mac - Catalog your external media and disks.
