Apparently the problem is specific to the Backup 'D' drive. It takes forever
to search and seems to be repeating search of the files and folders. This
does not happen in the main 'C' drive search. It's been scanning for almost
2 hours looking for wav files. There is about 200GB worth of info on the
500GB drive.

Still searching.....if I stop the search...computer freezes up.

Ransack finds about 600 wav files on this drive in a few minutes.....so
what's with XP?

Whenever I STOP a search while it is searching the computer
freezes up and I have to go to task manager to end the search. Any
reason or repair for this?

Maybe there is some file system corruption that Search is choking on.
It might be a good idea to run CHKDSK... but better back up your data
and system first, in case it decides to repair your disk into an
unbootable condition.
