I'm preparing a new 500 GB drive to attach to a DVR1100c receiver. I want both 4 GB Time Machine and (remaining space) programmed recording capability. How should I format the drive, and where?
Only in the DVR1100c?
Only on a PC (with SwissKnife)?
First on a PC then in the DVR1100c?
Format Time Machine partition first, then format remainder for programmed recording?
Format entire disk first, then carve out a Time Machine partition from it?
Something else?
Can formatting in the DVR1100c create a partition the full size of this drive or will it only create a smaller partition and waste the rest of the space?
Please advise. Thanks.
