Hi
1.I have got a new External HD which I'm using to backup my mac .I have partitioned the HD to 2 partitions (1TB HD, BTW) . I'm using one partition for Time Machine and i the second I have partitioned in order to backup my windows 7 machine . When I first got the HD I have formatted it using Apple partition Map .
I don't have any problems to use the Mac OS partition to backup ,using TM but when I'm connecting the HD to windows based machine I'm getting unallocated space (All the 930GB) . I think that the problem is this is not MBR . I was trying to format only the windows partition using MBR method but Disk Utility does not allow it . Any idea what can I do here? I don't want to erase everything cause I have data on the Mac OS partition .
2.I was inserting a blank CD to my macbook burner. The system was recognized the CD (Finder window with "Ignore & OK" was show up but a few sec later I got an error saying the system cannot recognized the CD .Now I can't eject the CD .Is there any keyboard combination that can help me to eject the CD ? (Command E does not working for me).
Sorry for my English
Thank you in advance .
