Re: time machine question
Another question: Can the external disk be partitioned to allow Time Machine to use part of it and keep the other part free for extra storage?

It's my understanding that you can do this, yes.

I have it running on a partitioned hd in one of my internal bays with no problems.
Never argue with an idiot.
