[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1182950, member: 145676"] There used to be a command line writes [code] defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1 [/code] But I don't believe that is necessary anymore. You just need to format your HD as HFS+ (I use journaled) then plug it into the back of the Airport Extreme. I have a friend setup this way with a raid 1 La Cie dual usb drive. I also believe you are quoting the article wrong [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US]Mac 101: Time Machine[/url] If you re-read this - what is says is that Time Machine needs HFS+ - and if you connect a non-HFS+ disk directly or to an Airport Extreme that is formatted for windows - it won't work for Time Machine - so as I said - format it as HFS+ and you can use an AE/USB drive for wireless backup.
