WDS 3.0.1 not possible to index other partition than C:\ Danny 08-14-2007

 Hi,

we have a very strange problem with WDS 3.0.1. On all computers it is not
possible to index other partitions than root. Drive D:\ or Drive E:\ are not
seen in Windows Desktop Search Options -> Modify -> Indexing Locations.

I don't know why only the first partitions can be seen. Can someone provide
any clues? This happens not only on one PC, it is on all our PCs.

We didn't setup any GPO for Windows Desktop Search.

Thanks,

Danny

 Hi,
I have the same problem.
As a workaround you can configure the other drives as network shares
and then add them as UNC-Devices.
