Windows 3.0 File Manager Does Not Search Entire Hard Drive

Last reviewed: November 23, 1994
Article ID: Q71125

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

The Search Entire Disk option in File Manager's Search dialog box causes File Manager to search the entire partition, not the entire disk. For example, if you want to search partitions C, D, and E, you need to perform a separate search for each partition.

MORE INFORMATION

On page 124 of the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide," step 4 states that after you select the Search Entire Disk check box, "File Manager will search the entire disk drive." This is incorrect.
