10.5: Make a bootable Time Machine backup drive
Authored by: pgflmacrob on Sat, Jun 28 2008 at 10:18AM PDT

I,m trying this technique. I have been using a Time Capsule Time machine for regular MacAir Time Machine backups and using it as a place to store files for transfer (overflow from my old large Tiger Macbook). I am willing to scape all this ( I have an extra backup.)

1) why doesn't disk utility see the time machine time capsule disk.
2) how does one go back and make Time Capsule a virgin time machine disk?
