Hi Loki, Use this Indexing Plugins. http://www.desktop.google.com/plugins/i/tweakgds.html?hl=en
TweakGDS allows you to modify advanced, undocumented setting for Google Desktop Search. + Here you can change the path location of the index. (so change index location from c:\ to f:\) + What drives or folder must be indexing + how many resutl must show on Google Desktop Search ... It's a great program to check you Google Desktop index!
