Scanning an External Hard Drive with Norton 360

I just installed an external hard drive on my computer to serve as a back-up for the computer's internal hard drive.  I have Norton 360 v5.  How can I get Norton 360 to run a scan on this drive?  When I run an on-demand scan there doesn't seem to be an option to scan an external drive.

 

Thanks for the help. 

Hello MRM

Does Windows recognise the external drive  ?

Yes, Windows recoginzes the external hard drive.  Full system scans now take the same amount of time as they did before I added the external hard drive so I'm guessing that the external drive is not being scanned.  I would like to be able to scan the external hard drive only "on demand".

 

Thanks for your help.

See if this works for you:

 

Right click Start, Open Windows Explorer, right click on your external drive, hover over Norton 360 and select Scan Now.

 

Please post back if this worked for you.

That seemed to work.  Thanks!!!!
