- Mac Mini PowerPC G4 Mac OS X 10.5.8 120 GIG HDD Ethernet
So I ended up buying off a friend a pretty cool Mac Mini. But it's a fairly basic one I think. Power PC G4 1 Gig ram 1.25 GIG with 120GIG hdd. I've been spending most of my afternoons that i am free playing with it and setting it up the way I want Have to say love it
But I do have a few questions though.
In regards to my external hard drives, I have a Western Digital 1TB hard drive that I plan on using with the mac mini. This drive will contain all my photos and documents that I will be using on my Mac Mini as I slowly make the migrate over to the Mac . My question is I think I know that I have to re-format the external hard drive from NTFS or FAT 32 in order for the Mac OS system to be able to read it and write to it. Am I correct in this?
Time Machine needs to be setup and I plan on setting it up on this hard drive. In regards to the Time Machine, should I have a separate external drive for that or can I use the hdd for documents and also set up the time machine back up feature?
Currently going through the rest of the forum to see if any of my other questions have been answered.
Kind Regards
