![]() ![]() I feel like I'm asking a lot here, anyone who takes the time to read this and/or helps, I truly appreciate it. ![]() And if it is even possible, how I'd do it. It's compatible with Mac OS right out of the box, but I'm not sure if I could create partitions on it for ubuntu, and Windows. You can however, if you want, partition your one external harddisk into two. The purpose of a Time Machine backup might be jeopardized when using the same harddisk for other purposes. Click on the lower partition and rename it to 'Time Machine'. For Time Machine backups I would recommend the useage of one external harddisk and a second external harddisk for 'plain' strorage use with OSX and/or Windows. Choose the hard drive on the window opened after choosing 'Disk Utility'. With hard drives getting bigger, it is useful to partition your hard drive so. The other thing I was looking at would be this: Choose 'Disk Utility' from the options displayed. The following steps will quickly set up G-DRIVE slim with Time Machine.

It has a built in software where you can make your computer recognize it as optical drive so that you could boot to multiple different things. I saw an external drive enclosure from Tek Syndicate, that looked like might work. Compatible with Time Machine and Mac OS (Mac OSx's Backup solution)Ī main question before even totally getting into this, is if I'd be able to boot to Windows from an external drive without something like Bootcamp. Able to Hold Windows 7 (Or 8) and Ubuntu (Or other Linux distribution) My main things that I am looking for in it would be: I'm not positive if this is all totally possible, but if there was any place I could ask, this is easily my first choice. I really want to get an external hard drive for the laptop. My plan right now is to buy a Macbook Air 11-inch (i5, 8GB RAM, and a 256 SSD). Even as much as I know someone like Linus doesn't enjoy Mac OSx or Apple as a whole, I am most likely going to be buying one for college next year. ![]()
