Feb 23, 2014 5:35 PM in response to Nielby KrystelleLynne,I do not want to run windows on the MAC...I am clearly a novice at this and would greatly appreciate if you could walk me through how to do this! If I can get the files I need, I'm hoping I can then erase the Seagate external drive and use it for my time capsule.

Feb 23, 2014 7:36 PM in response to Grant Bennet-Alderby KrystelleLynne,I have not backed up my MAC yet bc the hard drive I have holds the back up of my PC and that had to be erased before MAC will use it in time machine. I read the article but I am still confused ...it doesn't go into much detail about transferring windows files and I am hesitant to re-do the "start up" since my MAC is not backed up! I would greatly appreciate any more help you can provide!
