[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1026108, member: 131855"] I think it is possible but it is going to take a bit more than that. Time Machine is going to be looking for a drive/partition that is formatted hfs+. There is a procedure that I have seen which could do what you need. I tried it once with hfs+and FAT32 but it has since been updated to include NTFS. I encourage you to read the entire thread. I think some improvements to the process were included in the comments. [url=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080411155517808&query=NTFS+and+FAT32]Create an HFS+/NTFS/FAT32 external drive - Mac OS X Hints[/url]. I tested this using the original hint referenced in 2003 and had one problem that might gum up the works for you. The FAT32 partition would mount fine but I sometimes had to manually mount the HFS+ partition. If that is still true it could mean that Time Machine will not back up as automatically as it would with a straight HFS+ partition. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
