First, I know of kno way to use Voice Over at the true route level of the drive itself. Second, I just cannot halp asking. Do you have any sort of anti virus protection on board your system? IF not, for my part, I urge you to consider it. What you get is, of course, up to you: and, there will be quite a few recommendations from the folks here: but, for my part, ClamXAV can't be beat for accessibility, eas of use, and completeness of protection.
