[QUOTE="fabie tai chi, post: 1400699, member: 250981"] 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 Turn Owners Off : Yes Can Repair Permissions : No Can Be Verified : Yes Can Be Repaired : Yes Can Be Formatted : Yes Bootable : Yes Supports Journaling : Yes Journaled : Yes Disk Number : 2 Partition Number : 3 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.
