I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

Mixing files with data is not always great idea.

See info here.

Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?

It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.

In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.

There is more info here.
