Heer's an interesting tidbit: my computer related to this one- same M/B, same CPU, same memory and same HDD has an external drive which has an on off switch. If I try to use the safely remove hardware process with it turned on, I get the same message as I do with the other one we are discussing here. Never tried that before.

You have to delete and rebuild the index so the drive is no longer in the index. The progress will be shown in the first Index Options window.
I did what you suggested and went to "safely remove hardware" and got this message: Safe to remove Device Now I hope i can remember what I did. Thank you very much and thanks to everyone standing by. |
