Windows Start Menu search not searching any local drive other than C:
Cannot seem to find an answer for this, anywhere.
I did find this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/windows-7-search-wont-search-other-hard-drives/4b5c4b62-be1c-4342-b980-1597e25c138f?msgId=e275fe24-58c5-4fbe-93b4-ce9210d13206
But to no avail. Any suggestions?

That's default because your system is installed on the C: drive.
Go into
Control Panel
Indexing Options
Click on "Start Menu" and then click on "Modify".

Incorrect. The drive I wish to be included within the search, is already present within the list of indexed locations.

Hi,
Try rebuild the index:
1. Open Indexing Options by clicking the
Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type
indexing options, and then click Indexing Options.
2. Click
Advanced. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. In the
Advanced Options dialog box, click the Index Settings tab, and then click
Rebuild. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
