Q: can I save windows 7 file into Airport Extreme's USB HDD
Hi,
I have one AirPort Extreme connected with a G-Technology 2 TB G drive using USB port. I have a new Windows 7 computer connected to the AirPort using ethernet cable but I cannot find the G-Technology drive in my Windows 7 explorer.
Some internet sites mention Windows NTFS format is not supported in this type of setup. Could someone please confirm this?
Thanks
Jason

Confirmed In addition, Apple's support document confirms as well that formats of NTFS and exFAT are not supported with the AirPort Extreme.

Mac OS Extended (Journaled), also known as HFS+ is supported, as well as FAT16 and FAT32.
