For years I have not been able to figure out how to search a given drive.
I have Drives C: D: E: F: G: H: I: on my computer.
PLEASE: How do I search for a file on just one drive ?
Thank you very much.

and enter whatever text in the Name box or Search box ?
Chris Wheaton wrote:Bill - The approach for searching a single drive will depend on what types of disks these are and how X1 recognizes them in the index.
For instance, C: is certainly a local hard drive internal to the computer. D: may be a second internal hard drive (or a CD/DVD drive which means it is not indexed by X1). E:, F:, G: etc may be External or removable disks. These disks may not be in the X1 index by drive letter. Rather, because they can be plugged in and unplugged and another device plugged into the same slot X1 will assign to each of these a unique identifier.
Lets assume the following:
C: - Internal disk
D: - Internal disk
E: - X1identifier1
F: - X1identifier2
You set X1 up to perform a file search. The file search has files from all 4 disks. You want to focus the search on F:
In the Path column simply enter X1identifier2 (where the identifier is the actual identifier number for that disk).
By doing that you immediately focus the search on the one removable disk.
