Sep 24, 2013 5:06 PM in response to affatbeby Kappy,An Airport Extreme has no disk drive, so there's nothing to partition. If you have a disk drive connected to one by USB cable, then you need to connect the drive directly to your computer in order to repartition it.

Sep 24, 2013 5:10 PM in response to affatbeby Kappy,That does not answer my questions about what you actually have. I'm not exactly a mind reader. Thus far, you are not making much sense.

Sep 24, 2013 5:19 PM in response to Kappyby affatbe,I didn't understand your question. I didn't realize you even asked one. I have a macbook pro. my airport extreme is also a 2tb hard drive. it was partitioned 1tb & 1 tb. I attemped to remove the partition so it was just one large file of 2tb's. when i attempted to delete the patition it froze and when i attemped to reopen the hard drive i get that message about sparsebundle and no mountable file system

Leave the drive connected to your computer for backups. Do not connect it to your AEBS to use like a Time Capsule. It is unreliable and will not work properly. You can still use Time Machine for the backups if you wish.

Sep 24, 2013 5:46 PM in response to Kappyby affatbe,I think the miscomunnication was on my side. I guess it would be a time capsole. it is a wireless router and 2 TB hard drive. Thoughts?

Sep 24, 2013 5:48 PM in response to affatbeby Kappy,If the drive is internal then it is a Time Capsule. Otherwise it's an AEBS with an external drive attached by USB cable.
For the former you need to open Airport Utility in the Utilities folder:
