I just bought the Time Capsule thinking I could use it as an External Hard Drive with Bootcamp (windows 7 on iMac 27) :Oops: , I've been searching all the way on the internet with no luck :[ , please help me :Smirk:

Additional question:

1.- Is there a way to connect the Time Capsule via Usb or something, rather than Wi-Fi?

You can use it as a network external hard disk. I.e. it needs connecting to your router by Ethernet or wifi.

The USB port cannot be used to connect directly to a PC or Mac.

If your using the time capsule for Time Machine it's likely formatted as HFS. Windows can't natively use HFS so your best creating a partition using FAT32 for windows use
