Accepted Answer

If the whole hard disk has been activated for Time Machine, you can only use it for Time Machine. Solution. Partition the hard disk into two or more parts. Make several hard disks out of one according to popular size. One part is then only used for Time Machine. The other part(s) can be used as normal hard disks and then you can also create folders and copy data into them. Partitioning is done in the hard disk programme of your Mac or OSX operating system.
