How to make the partition of Seagate backup so the Macbook Air?

I just bought a Macbook Air 13' 2015, I have a seagate external hard drive backup 1 TB plus all my files in it, coming from windows PC and I switch to Mac, when I try to make a partition in disk utility, I can't select an option for partition, its greyed, but I can read/write because of the Paragon for Mac OS driver I want just a partition on my mac with Time Machine backup, but I can't use my external drive for Time Machine it will erase everything on my external hard drive. Thank you

Unless you need to keep the Windows files you put on the disk and copied to the computer, then I suggest that you simply re - prepare the drive for use on Mac. Because the drive has been formatted on a Windows system you cannot partition via the Mac. But you can re-prep. disk using the partition scheme GUID for the two partitions and format of one of them for MS-DOS or ExFAT using Windows. But as I said earlier, if you do not need to use Windows and want to use for the backup on the Mac, then he prep exclusively for Mac. Use Time Machine backup requires a volume that is at least 2 or 3 times the capacity of the computer HARD drive.

Drive partition and format

  1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
  2. After disk utility charges select the drive (entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list to one side.
  3. Click on the Partition or delete tab in the toolbar utility of disc that is activated. If both are enabled, then choose clear.
  4. Adjustable circular diagram to set the number of partitions if you want more than one. Otherwise leave the default of one.
  5. In the Group dropdown set the GUID partition scheme. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  6. Click on the apply button and wait for the fact button to activate.
  7. Quit disk utility.
