"index this drive for a quick search" is missing

I have 2 hard drives, it is OK, the other is not.
When I click with the right button on the "faulty" hard disk and view properties - general, I do not have the optiions: -.
"index this drive for a quick search" or
"compress this drive to save disk space.

Any help appreciated. I can't understand or find the answer elsewhere.

See you soon,.

Hi Diana,

Thanks for the reply. I came across the answer by searching for something else. Do with FAT32 and NTFS.

I couldn't understand why I had more tabs on an external drive compared to the other when I looked at the properties.

Once I have converted my "defective" drive to NTFS the additional tabs appeared in properties and "index this drive for a quick search" and "compress this drive to save disk space" also appeared.

Apparently you can not index the FAT32 disks.

See you soon,.

Bob
