[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1274418, member: 45350"] To reinstall, after loading the Mac APP Store hold down the OPTION key and click on PURCHASED. You should be able to install then. But, first do a google search on Spotlight Indexing and Lion. Should be able to find the settings to ignore. I've seen it recently, but don't remember where. If I find it again I'll post a link here. EDIT: This is to disable indexing for a specific folder, but should work as well for the drive I believe.
