[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1863863, member: 204485"] Here is a good guide from Seagate on how to setup and format the EHD for use with Time Machine. [URL]https://www.seagate.com/au/en/support/kb/how-to-format-your-drive-in-macos-1011-and-above-007736en/[/URL] It is also quite possible that when you plug in the EHD after a minute or so you will be asked something along the lines of, "You have connected a new blank External Hard Drive, would you like to use it for Time Machine Backups?" If this happens say Yes. The EHD will then be erased, formatted and setup as your Time Machine Backup in System Preferences. [/QUOTE]
