- 1). Click once on the Windows "Start" button and select the "Explore" option. This will generate a separate pop-up window. Depending on the number of hard drives and share drives to which you are connected, it could take a minute or so to populate the necessary data to the pop-up window.
- 2). Use the "Folders" section to the left of the "Explore" window to search for the hard drive for which you want to check the contents. Most internal hard drives are listed near the top of the selections and labeled as "C" and "D" drives, and some are simply listed as "Local Disk" or "Local Hard Drives." External drives are usually located near the bottom of the listings and are listed by the letter of the port to which they are connected and manufacturer name.
- 3). Click once on the listing of the hard drive that you want to check. The folders and documents contained on the hard drive will be listed in the right area of the screen by name. You can sort the data by clicking once on the header names. To view the folder contents, double-click on the folder icon. To move back to the previous screen, click once on the green "Back" arrow near the top left of the "Explore" window.
