Is it possible to partition the hard drive on my Windows PC for Time Machine use on my MacBook Air via USB? And, if so, HOW? :-) Thanks, Allen |

There are procedures out there for splitting a drive into partitions with one having HFS+ and one NTFS for Windows but I have typically seen it only for external drives. Can you tell us more about your setup? Is this an internal drive on your PC? Network share? Sylvester Roque Former Contributing Editor About This Particular Macintosh "Got Time to breathe.

I was just looking for an inexpensive way to be able to use Time Machine on my MBA. I didn't want to have to buy an external drive if I didn't need to. |
