[QUOTE="lori5060, post: 1807878, member: 348803"] I have several external drives with a variety of files on them for safe keeping. when trying to do a search on an external drive...it will not work for me. the external drive shows all files and folders etc. but when I try to do a search of all of the external drive or even 1 large folder, the search goes to my MacBook drive... I tried clicking on external drive again and it shows it is looking at hit but still the search goes back to hard drive don't want to go into each folder and search for file as there is a lot of data there. there must be something I am doing wrong. I have had this problem in the past and not sure what is happening. can anyone help. [/QUOTE]
