[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 635590, member: 38928"] You need to partition the drive into 2. How you split it is up to you...i.e. how much space you need for storage. I'd go for a 700gb/300gb. Format the 700gb storage partition using FAT32 (NTFS can be read by os x but not written to) Then let the Time Machine utility format the 300gb partition for it's sole use. That should sort things out. mrplow [/QUOTE]
