Dead Dying Drive - Everything Querying...
Hooked a dead/dying HDD to USB adapter...
Forgot about Everything (how could anyone!?)
Drive (presumably) is not readable
Everything went, Querying..., to, Not Responding...
Not sure if Everything was querying the drive (but thinking not cause it's external & should not be indexed by default)?
ntfs_volume_paths=C:,E: (actual volumes)
ntfs_volume_guids=(only shows 2, i.e., same number as ntfs_volume_paths)
Anyhow...
At this point, Everything will not open, simply goes into a Querying/Not Responding state.
Similarly Salamander will not load (present its' GUI).
Granted, this may not be an Everything issue at all, but rather this type of thing is not unexpected when dealing with dying/dead devices, & I'm sure a reboot (ugh!) will right things.
(Attaching .dmp, fwiw.)
