[QUOTE="Hwilensky, post: 1386687, member: 241476"] Hi all - Hope all is well. I have yet another newbie question. I am using a 2tb external hard drive to use as my time capsule, and would also like to use this device as storage space for all my photo's and iTunes and documents. I would prefer to use this as the main method for storage. Leaving the hard drive on the iMac free. So here are my questions? 1 - Can this be done? 2 - Should I partition the hard rive? Say 500gb for time capsule 750gb for photo 750 for iTunes and 250gb for documents? 3 - Should I just create folders on the external hard drive? 4 - Whats the positives and negatives of partitioning the hard drive? 5 - How do I do either one? Is there a place or a document on this great forum where one could learn how to do it? If not here, what are some good site's to learn how to do things like that? I have had my mac for almost four weeks, and I absolutely love it. I want to be able to know how to use it to the fullest extent possible. So thank you in advance for all answers. Hwilensky [/QUOTE]
