To get a general printout of the files in the whole drive:

Open up a command prompt, goto root drive. Ex: CD\
Type command:

dir/s/a *.*

To output this information to a file, append '> filename'. For example: dir/s/a *.* > FileListing.txt

An ugly way of doing a file index dump is through DOS...

cd /

dir /w /s > listing.txt

This will print out an entire listing of all the files and directories on your C: drive sorted by directory to the file "listing.txt" which will be saved in the root directory of C:.

The /w switch prints out the listing in wide mode (multiple files on 1 line). This saves screen space when prining. If you want all the files listed on their own line ommit the /w.

Once you have them all in a file you can use excel to sort them how ever you want.
