[QUOTE="clayneal, post: 1017739, member: 94153"] If you wish to use TM for incremental back-ups or CCC , SD for a bootable back-up then yes you will need to format the drive to HFS+ journaled . However doing this WILL delete ALL the data you currently have on the drive. The reason you cant write to it now is that it is formatted NTFS and your Mac cant write to it natively ( well I guess it can now in 10.6 ) So you will need a third party app to allow you to write to the drive but just for data storage. Here is one such solution but I am sure there are others [url=http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/]PARAGON Software Group - NTFS for Mac, communication channel between Mac OS X and Windows[/url] heres a tutorial on how to get NTFS support in 10.6+ if you have it. There is also one floating around here but couldnt find it . With this process you wouldn't need a third party app. [url]http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090913140023382[/url] Hope this helps Clay [/QUOTE]
