Okay, here's the deal. I just came across a 320GB external HDD that I would like to use with Time Machine in Leopard. The thing is, this is a HDD that came stock in a MBP so the previous user's OS and everything else is still on the drive. The person trusted me enough to make sure I erased the drive on my own which of course I will do.
So my questions are this. Should I just delete the partition on the drive and create a new one? If so, how would I go about doing the with the Disk Utility that's built in to Leopard if I have a separate Windows XP partition on my main HDD that I'd also like to back up? Will Time Machine be able to back up my Windows XP partition as well?
Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
