[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1238264, member: 184879"] you go into Disk utility, select the external drive, new partition table, 2 partitions. once this is done the hard drive will appear as two in the finder, and you can use one for storage, one for time machine. (you can even backup the storage partition to the TM partition ;) ) bear in mind the process will wipe any data already on the external drive. [/QUOTE]
