    For some reason I cant search my 500gb external anymore, when I search for anything within it it automatically goes to No Items Found Match, the green searching bar doesn't crawl across it just immediately fails. It searched it before, anyone have any idea why it suddenly wont search?

    Sorry, you're right, it does. What happens if you click Start/Computer/Open? Does the drive show up?
