If you have more than one physical drive in your computer, this guide is for you. The search index can take a considerable toll on your system drive; by moving the index to a separate drive, you can increase overall performace. Learn how to move the Windows Vista search index to another drive in this guide.
Move the Search Index to Another Drive
1. Press Start, type index in the search bar and press Enter
2. Press the Advanced button
3. Press Select new at the bottom and select a new location on a different physical hard drive
4. Press OK
Your search index will now need to rebuild, which may temporarily slow performance.
