Hi Chris and others. Actually, someone from the Peel The Apple list called
me on Facetime. He showed me how to partition the hard drive so that my time
machine backup and Youtube videos from my PS3 could both fit on there
without any problems. He didn't recommend that I just copy the videos onto
the drive over top of the time machine backup. So one partition is strictly
Mac Journaled format and one is FAT32 so that my Youtube videos were able to
be copied.

Subject: Re: Some External Hard Drive Questions
My understanding was that a time machine drive is just an ordinary Mac
formatted disk. The main issue is that TimeMachine keeps making
incremental backups until the entire volume is filled. So if you copy
those movies to the disk first you should be ok but later if you delete
one TM might suck up that extra free space.

Hey all. Today I bought an external hard drive because of that freak
accident with my Mac a few weeks ago. So I got a few questions about it.
1. I want to do a time machine backup of my entire HD. However, I have a
whole bunch of youtube videos I copied onto another system other than my
Mac. Can I copy over those videos onto the external drive without
partitioning it?
2. If I have to partition the drive, how would I go about doing that?
Thanks in advance.
