That can be done in Disk Utility, but yeah, if you have a lot of data on the drive, then you’d definitely not want to go that avenue… especially not if you plan to use the drive both on Windows, and also on the mac. Sounds like at this point, you’re unfortunately kind of in a catch 22

Hi, We don’t know what the mac installer did to your drive. To use time machine you need a mac partition. One approach would be to use disk utility to create two partitions on the drive: one for TM backups (mac) and a second for your data files (ext fat). Let us know what disk utility tells

Re: back up failed

Don’t format that disk and don’t use it for Time Machine yet. Get a copy of your data onto a second external drive first. That USB key will probably do just what you want. Time Machine wants Mac OS X Extended volumes for backups. That means destroying any existing data on the device.
