[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 827538, member: 71075"] No, Time Machine needs to back up to an HFS+ formatted disk. For the disk to be readable and writeable in both Windows and OS X, you will want a disk formatted with FAT32 (this doesn't require any extra software). If you want, you could try the partitioning scheme suggested [URL="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1228127"]here[/URL] should you want to have TM backup to the same drive you want to use for both Windows and OS X.
