[QUOTE="Sharkz, post: 1648882, member: 312650"] My new iMac is due tomorrow, finally. Yeah.. happy dance. But I have question. Everything showed up ahead of time except the external drive I plan on using for Time machine :Grimmace: My external media drive will be hooked up. So when the computer boots for the first time will I be able to decline the Time machine setup or will it default to my media drive? My time machine drive will be here Friday. Its smaller and a firewire hookup. My media drive is a Thunderbolt hookup. Another question I have is when the drive arrives I assume there is a way to tell it that is the time machine drive? Sorry for the newbie questions but I've never owned nor booted up a Mac so I'm unsure. Thanks.. [/QUOTE]
