keeps insisting I put a disk into a drive

Post by aurelius »

Greetings, This may be a stupid problem, but it is a problem at the lease. I'm using the 1407 version of Everything. But I keep getting a popup window stating "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\harddisk9\DR9." How do I tell it to only scan hard drives, not cd/dvd drives? I tried to exclude them but it does not solve the problem.

Could you please send the debug output when opening your NTFS options page:
  • In Everything, Press Ctrl + `
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab
  • What is displayed in the debug console?
  • Is this \Device\harddisk9\DR9 volume listed in the Local NTFS list?

Same problem here, when I remove my USB keys and restart everything (have to close everything to be able to eject key) Everything keeps asking me for the ejected drives. I have to go to options to remove the drive letters to stop this.

I couldn't get the debug to start up so I just went back to ver 1.2.1.3.71. Works again. ))

It does seem to work with the older version but I want to keep the up to date Everything...It's too brilliant to revert to an older version'

Also When I remove a USB drive the results stay even after a resacan, I have to manually remove the drives from the options menu. My USB drives are formatted as Fat32

To stop Everything from trying to index newly inserted volumes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab.
  • Uncheck Automatically index new fixed volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically index new removable volumes.
  • Click the ReFS tab.
  • Uncheck Automatically index new fixed volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically index new removable volumes.
  • Click OK.
If anyone has a screen shot of the error message, or the debug output it would be greatly appreciated.
