Try this. Create a file called '.com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent' at the root of your portable drive. You might find it easier to do this with the Terminal using the following command. touch "/Volumes/The Name of Your Drive/.com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent" I am pretty sure I have see the option to never use a drive in the Time Machine UI but perhaps something is amiss for you. -- Matthew -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
