I formatted my Windows XP partition NFTS or whatever it's called which makes it only able to read.

So if i back it up with TM, and my computer crashes, or i lose a file, will TM be able to bring it back since it's NTFS or will it just be wasted space (20GB wasted)?

Also, on a side note for future reference, where in Boot Camp can i resize the partition?
 
I think it'll work, but it'll probably have to backup the whole image each time which will eat a lot of hard drive space very quickly.

EDIT: Ah I thought we were talking about Parallels :eek:.
 
If you read about how TM works, you will see that backing up a windows partition would be impossible (i think.....). You're going to have to use other means to back up files.
