How do I get Windows 7 to index my logical drive?
location: microsoft.com - date: September 5, 2010
I have a logical drive ('B') (with all my 'data' files, eg., txt, doc, eml, jpg, etc).  Windows 7 indexing seems to not recognize it.  There are tens of thousands of files on that drive, yet Indexing only finds about 2,000 files (presumably on my system drive in my User/ area, also indexed).

Using Windows 7, how do I run CHKDSK?
location: microsoft.com - date: February 27, 2011
I've searched throughout the Control Panel and it's submenus and options but can find no means to initiate a scan for disk errors! I did find chkdsk.exe in the Windows\System32 folder but when I double click it, the only response is a flash of the DOS {black, command prompt} screen! Is that the correct response?! Is there no way to run [schedule] a scan disk [for errors] as there has been in earlier versions of Windows?!
