[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1786850, member: 83420"] Hi pine man. To sort things out for you, try this: Open System Preferences, then click on Spotlight. When the Spotlight window opens, Click on Privacy. Your Thunderbolt CCC Drive should be shown under Privacy - meaning that it is [B]excluded[/B] from any Search. If it's not there, then locate the CCC Drive icon (probably on your Desktop or in Finder Sidebar) and left click/drag the icon into the Privacy Window. Any Drive you want [B]excluded[/B] from a Spotlight Search should be dragged into the Privacy window. So, if you occasionally mount other drives, they will need to be dragged into Privacy if you don't want them searched. Ian [/QUOTE]
