Target Disk Mode: Searching files in Bootcamp partition

I'm trying to search my Bootcamp partition via Spotlight or any search method


1. After I enter Target Disk Mode, two "Y" drives show up on my desktop: Bootcamp and Macintosh HD 320.

2. I click on the Bootcamp drive and try to do a search and nothing is displayed.

3. To trouble shoot, I click on the drive and enter a file name I can see is in Bootcamp, and still nothing shows up

4. I have tried going into spotlight and re-indexing the drive, but the Bootcamp drive is not recognized by spotlight. Though the Mac 320 drive is.


I don't care what proces I use to find the file, I just want to find the file.

My logic board went out on me and I'm trying to access files to transfer onto the new machine.


Thanks in advance for your help.
