Hi,

Finder can't find anything so I'm indexing the HD which half full (24Gig) - does it normally take so long ! The progress bar seems to stick for ages at some points when you might expect it to keep clicking the numbers over.

cheers

thats usually a sort of slow process, but not that slow, di you repair permissions before starting this? that could be causing a small problem cause it has to look for correct parents of files and related files and such when indexing.

Even an indexed HD on Panther will look REAL slow to Tiger

Go Tiiigerrr!
