ok so i finally got a HD to back up my machine
my macbook HD is 250gb
I bought a 1 TB drive and partitioned it in 4 sections
250gb for time machine
250gb for music
100gb for pictures
and 330 for a temp holding for my self till i sort thru new stuff
oh and they are all partitioned in MS-dos so i can see them on my work pc XP
except the time machine partition
i do not understand Time Machine
when it went to back up i think it was backing up my entire external partition i do not want time machine to do this
i only want it to back up my macbook HD
please help me accomplish this task
before i throw my macbook out the window
this is supposed to be easy but it is not and the instructions on how to exclude items does not allow me to exclude the different partitions
