So this is a two part question:

I currently have 2 external HDs, a 1TB that I use for media, storage, etc and a 2TB that I use as a time machine for both my internal and external drives.

Now both externals are formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). I just recently bootcamped Windows 7 and although I can read from the externals in Windows, I cannot write.

1) Is there any way to allow Win7 to write to the externals (without changing the format) so I can utilize them from both Win and OSX?

2) Is there any way possible to have time machine back up my Windows Partition in addition to everything else? It doesn't appear to be able to but I might be missing something.
