Hi
I'm thinking of getting this external Firewire HD to backup an iMac (via Carbon Copy Cloner under Tiger), and wondering whether it can also be used, when partitioned, to back up a Windows (XP Professional) laptop I also use, via USB? It's certainly large enough.
Or would the formatting of the HD prevent it being used for both systems?
And for a bonus point (sorry, realise this is a Mac forum!) would the 'on board' XP software, which I believe is called 'backup', suffice to simply make what I know in the Mac world as a 'bootable clone'?
Many thanks
