[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1624774, member: 131855"] You're almost on the right track with this. Time Machine requires a drive/partition that is formatted for HFS+. This is the same formatting the drive would natively use to store Mac files. The only issue there is that Windows cannot read that file without third party software. [URL="http://www.paragon-drivers.com/hfs-windows/"]It's not free but less than $20.00[/URL] That way the entire drive can be HFS+. The alternative is to attach the drive to a network device then the formatting of the drive does not matter so much. Although it is possible to have a drive with one Mac partition and one Windows partition on the same drive I wouldn't trust it with important data. [/QUOTE]
