10.4: Disable Spotlight on a FAT32 external drive
Authored by: aptmunich on Aug 16, '06 08:20:32AM

Can't you just drag the harddrive to your 'Private' list under spotlight system preferences?

That's what I do with my Backup drive (although it is HFS+ formatted, not Fat32) so I'd imagine it would work here as well?

Sorry, I just re-read your post and tried it myself.

Dragging Fat32 drives to the privacy tab does NOT work...
