Hey all,

Got a new Time Capsule and set it up, got it working well. I intend to use the internet drive for Time Machine but I also wanted to attach one of my external USB drives to the device to share across multiple systems (Windows and Mac). Problem is, I can't seem to get Time Capsule to work with ANY USB drives.

I've tried a few, from thumb drives to big multiple-interface enclosures. Airport Utility 6 doesn't see it at all, if I use the older version of Airport Utility (either on my mac or my windows PC) it 'sees' the drive, but options to format, verify, etc., are not there. And of course, in the finder, I can't find it!

Any suggestions? The enclosure I want to use is powered, though I've also tried adding a powered hub, etc.
