So err, whats the question?
back-up before reformat seems like a must to me?
Be sure to back-up your personal documents on more places!
I think he's asking whether it will work with Time Machine or not.
Ah, if that's the case then yeah - any old external hard drive can be used as a time machine drive I believe. I use a partition on my external as a time machine drive but I haven't used it in god knows how long.
off-topic: I love your signature Stephen haha :)
When I owned a Mac I used a standard Western Digital external hard drive for time machine backups. I also even used it to put my music and other files on there from my main hard drive. It’s very easy to do via OSX. :)
Okay, Thanks Guys
