Someone told me I could do this so I attached a 4TB drive to my Airport Extreme to use it as a time machine for both my iMac and my Macbook Pro. I then opened Time Machine preferences to attempt to set up it and it showed me three disk options: the current backup on my NAS; another backup on y NAS (the one currently being used for my laptop) and an option "Other Time Capsule". Nothing about the new drive.
So I went into Finder to locate the drive...and can't find it anywhere. It shows up in the Airport utility but nowhere else.
1) How do I get my iMac to connect to it and when I do where will it appear?
2) How do I get Time machine to use it?
