[QUOTE="public_life, post: 993756, member: 142852"] Hi guys, I've recently purchased a LaCie Hard disk 500GB USB2 FireWire 400 to use as my back up for the Time Machine. I run two Macbooks, so partitioned the hard disk in two using Disk Utility. The problem is that the HDD only appears on one computer at a time. Is this normal, or have I done something wrong? And if you can only use the HDD on one macbook at a time, is it still ok to run the Time Machine for both macbooks on the one, partitioned HDD, but just plug it in to the different macbooks at different times of the day? Really appreciate your help. Cheers!! [/QUOTE]
