Western Digital my passport ultra ,slim, portable hard drive,WD Elements, WD My Book western digital, my passport wd, we my cloud,wd my passport ultra, West. Now the Time Machine partition is writable, but the other partition is. When I bought it, I partitioned it, so that I could use one partition for Time machine, and the other for extra files. Takes a great deal of time and some things need fixing after completion. I have Sony external hard drive HD-E2, and it was working fine I could save files on it and copy files. I have not figured out how to get Leopard restored short of format, then complete (re)install with Time Machine restore kicking in at the end of that process. BKF but think it requires an OS - unlike Vista + Windows 7 where the install Disk will retore from External in ~30 minutes. BKF string of the hard drive, runs maybe a little slower than Vista & Windows 7 Backup/Restore Maint. Also available from Microsoft if no install CD. On Windows side, is Vista, W7 (32 &64Bit) and recently my daughter's HP Laptop XP which posed a problem until I found that NtBackup.Msi was in VALUEADD folder on the Windows XP install CD. Setup on my Acomdata 7200rpm External is Mac 150GB HFS, Windows 150GB NTFS. Also, this WD 12TB external hard drive is compatible with Mac Time Machine. If you're going to use the drive on both platforms, does it need to be set up first on the PC, allocating 1/2? to Windows NTFS format, then disable/reset/delete Time Machine backups doing the Mac HFS format thing on remainder of External? WD My Book Desktop 12TB External Hard Drive (WDBBGB0120HBK) Similar to the above Western Digital Easystore 12tb hard disk, this My Book drive of 12TB also has built-in Western Digital backup software to backup users’ files automatically.
