It still won't show up if you drag the disk to the spotlight tab

The Total Size of my HDs are a 160 "Main" and a 250 (partitined to the equalivent of a 160, and a 90) My main HD has 75 gbs left, the patritioned 160 has 35gbs left and the 90 has 21gbs left. I did everything by the command line. Il try restarting after adding my main hd to the list. but usually...

Nope, i Never turned it "OFF". My HD filled up not to long ago because of a backup/disk write error. But now i have enough space for it to operate right. I have nothing in my "privacy" tab in Spotlight.Prefpane . And actually if i search for "apple" before i would get 53,000 results but now none.

I can reindex spotlight but it never returns results. I need Help to turn it back "On". Any Suggestions?

I can't because it says it can't unmount the drives

there isn't master/slave these are Serial ATA drives so there are two masters

Mac OSX 10.4.2 a SATA drive on a Powermac G5 2.0ghz. It can't repair the drive or permissions. it says it can't unmount. it has worked before but this problem has occured too.

i get error -50 whenever i try to acces my second hd. I can't write to it.

it is currently indexing. It hasnt gone this long since i got tiger. thanks. i havnt until now repaired my drive.-it fixes soo many things

never mind, i got it working. just repair permissions and the volume

My Hard Drive will not mount on there. It has the spinning beachball of death then nothing. Even dragging doesnt work.

it says Error, no index found for volume.

I can never reindex spotlgiht because it starts but then stops for some reason. A little while ago i ran out of space because of a faulty hd and a backup program. Any Suggestions?

I need to fix this. For example when I am in photoshop and want to select open on anything but jpgs and gifs it takes around 5 minutes until the open button is illumated and can be clicked

My spotlight is severely corrupted. I have tried everything I have found to fix the problem but notthing has worked yet. Is there anyway to reinstall it. Awhile ago my disk ran out of space, could that have anything todo with it? any help is needed badly. Even the finder search won't work.

as far as i go ffmpegx is "broken" under tiger. I hope it gets an update soon
