I do not think I have my hard drive set-up correctly on my APE.

The way I have it mount is I had to drag it into my log-in items in my user account. This has resulted in odd behavoir each time I reboot my Mac.

I have read that there used to be an Apple Utility called Airport Disk. I don't see this anywhere. Last version I see discussed when I Google it is 5.0, a very old version.

Am I mounting the external HD correctly. I want it to mount regardless of which user signs in. The way I have it now, I have to manually set it up for each user. This doesn't seem right to me.

How can I get the HD to mount on boot-up regardless of user or Mac? I have four different Macs using this for Time Machine and again, I don't think what I am doing is correct.

Cheers!
