Hi. I have a 3TB seegate goflex connected to my airport extreme. When I go into the disk tab of the utility, I don't see any partitions in the table. I don't see any sidebar as noted in the below message. I have share over WAN checked and have set up this using two accounts (Mine and my wife's) for the present. However, I can't figure out how to get the disk tab dialog to see even one partition. I'm not going to partition the drive; just use the whole 3TB to store files. I use carbon copy backup on a firewire drive; so am not going to use time machine. I was sent two articles by apple concerning setting up the back to my mac feature which I have set up, but both articles won't open when I open the links. I am told there are too many redirects. How do I get my airport extreme to see my 3TB drive? Thanks.
