Windows 7 - I want to index a portable USB drive on a networked computer

I want to index a portable USB drive on a networked computer

I want to index a portable USB drive on a networked computer. Currently the index is on. The option isn't available in the index options (drive or network pc doesn't show in list) but I can search mp3s in My Music Library - but similar to Golden, results only display as date modified: Album, Track, Year etc etc are greyed out.

Question: Can I hard link the 80Gb of mps onto my C drive and have "arrange by" options?
(On the help file it says right click -> make available ofline, but I guess this is only for pofessional or +)


Regards
D

I haven't tried it but what happens if you go to Computer, click C: drive, then open Program files, open Windows Media Player, then select the files you want to download to your USB drive. (click on this icon in the media player folder)

Hmmm, thanks Jacee, I'll switch to using Media Player as my "search engine", now that I have the usb drive included in the library. Not perfect but it'll do.
