Hi Gary
You'd need to do this via your Mac I think. The basic problem is that Windows
won't read HFS drives, whereas Mac OS will read NTFS formatted media, but it
cannot write to it (by default). There are options to make this work, but most
of them are problematic unless you're prepared to by the commercial suite which
makes each compatible with the other.

I will explain this subject below.
Hello everyone. My name is Gary Price from Bolton in lancashire, England,
United Kingdom.
I have recently bought a new 2 terabyte external hard drive. Last year I bought
a Macbook early 2008 off a friend.
I have setup my external hard drive for Time Machine. For those who don't know
Time Machine is like system restore for the Mac. When I was setting it up it
told me to encrypt the disk. So I just followed the instructions.
I have got a desktop running Windows7 64 bit. Now my external is encrypted, it
will not show up in Windows explorer when I plugg it in! But the strange thing
is that it shows up in Safely remove hardware.
Please does anyone know if there is a way I can either de-crypt the backup
which Time Machine has done, or the entire disk?
I am asking this because I am soon going to be moving to Windows8, so I want to
put a folder with my important stuff onto it!
Many thanks I look forward to any responses.
