I was wondering if anybody might be able to help me with my external hard drive problem:
I've recently got an iMac, and wanted to back up using my Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive. I was a little ignorant and just plugged it in. It asked me if i wanted to use time machine, so i said yes, and it wiped everything off it, including the software bits, and is now just backing up stuff using time machine. That's all very good and well, but it means i can't use it to occasionally transfer the odd film or something (that i could do before), and i don't really need a million copies of my hard drive an hour apart from the last god knows how many weeks.
I was wondering if anybody knew of any software i can put on it to use this external hard drive with my mac, or if there is anyway of tinkering with time machine to change the settings - i've tried but to no avail.
Your help would be much appreciated!
