[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 959291, member: 8287"] Do you want the drive to be able to work on a Windows system or just your Mac? If just the Mac format it Mac OS Extended (Journalized). Just drag the files over you want to back up manually. You can make folders on the external drive if you want to keep it all organized. If OSX asks you if you want the new drive used with Time Machine just say no. [/QUOTE]
