Why use Windows to partition / format? On the Mac, disk utility will do the same and you can use the Mac OS Extended format which is recommended.
If you remove the drive from its USB shell and mount it on a computer via SATA or eSATA you should be able to access its RAID status and see if there is indeed a problem with the drive. Other than having the drive work every 15 minutes I don't think TM is overly stressful. (My TM volume is an ext2 disk image file loop-mounted in a server, exported via NFS, reexported as a TM volume by a Linux VM running Netatalk... And it works nicely.) -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) SqueezeCenter 7.4.2 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Find cover art by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat, Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89000
