• FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

  How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

  Hi MVRMVR,

  Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

  I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

  You can search for an external drive if the operating system permissions are OK.  Bridge, however, will not look on different drives.

• How to make a Time Capsule external hard drive backup

  Hi I just got a time capsule airport which I backed up on my iMac.  I have an external seagate HD plugged on my mac via USB.  I have a catalog photo large library and adobe lightroom on the external hard drive I use and change almost every day. These files are NOT stored on my computer because they take so much space that I would like to keep the separate external disk.  It was my hope to keep a backup on my time capsule on a regular basis with my backup of the iMac.  I have time machine configured to backup from my mac, and then under options, I have seen the drive seagate showing as excluded.  I removed excluded readers and click Save. However I don't think during backup that he actually saved these files because the capsule still shows as have plenty of available disk space.  When I opened the options again shows seagate always excluded.

  so question is can I save the iMac and the external hard drive at the same time?

  If this is not the case, what is the work around for this thing saved?

  thnx

  The Seagate disk should be in Mac Mac OS extended (journaled)format, also known as HFS +, if you want that Time Machine to back up your Mac.

  Do you know how the Seagate drive is formatted?  If it isn't... . Right click on on the icon of the Seagate drive which is mounted on the Mac desktop, and then click read the information. In the window that appears, look for the Format.

  What do you see when you check the Format?

  In general, you can not do this. With a few exceptions, all the
  programs have a lot of components and references, scattered everywhere in your
  hard drive, including references in the registry. Just a backup copy of

  So if you want your old programs on your new computer, you will need
  to reinstall their original media.

• How do say I have this external hard drive more Time machine?

  I keep all my personal documents on an external drive that is still connected to my Mac via USB. For the purpose of this question, we will call it this disc "Lagavulin".

  In addition, I have a Time Capsule. Time Machine is configured to record its backups on the time Capsule.

  TimeMachine performs regular backups of my complete system, including the operating system, applications and settings internal to the Mac disk, as well as my personal documents that are on the external hard drive "Lagavulin".

  A few weeks ago "Lagavulin" behaved erratically, so I bought a new external drive to replace it. Let's call it "Ardbeg.

  I have all my files from "Lagavulin" to 'Ardbeg' in reverse. Then I threw it "Lagavulin" in the Trash because his performance was getting worse and worse. The transfer went very well, and all my files are fine.

  I put TimeMachine to include "Ardbeg" in its future backups.

  The problem is that TimeMachine still thinks that I have "Lagavulin", even if I is no longer the branch. When I access TimeMachine and look what is recorded in it, it always includes the files on "Lagavulin" in its most recent backups. Thus, each current backup has "MacintoshHD" (system files), "Ardbeg" (personal records) and "Lagavulin" (old version of the personal folders).

  How can I know TimeMachine that I own is no longer "Lagavulin"?

  Start with A4 in the 1st article linked.
