Ohkay,
Well, the other day my dad brought an Apple time Capsule, as per usual with all technology-related things, I set it up (even though I'm kind of a noob when it comes to the 'serious' stuff...).
It works pretty good, except with different programs and installing things it comes up with an error in the installer saying that it can't be installed onto a case-sensative volume.
I checked the disk utility, I run a mac OS X 10.6.3.
The format of the Time Capsule is Mac OS X (case sensative, journalised)

I was wondering if there was a way to get around the case-sensative part and install things directly onto the Time Capsule (I'm using it as an External Hard Drive... =/ Is that right? ) or if I should reformat it to just Mac OS X (journalised)?

Any information and notes and things, and an answer to the question is incredibly appreciated. (:
Thank you!!

Matt *makes u face palm* A TC is for back up, its not built for a EHD. reformat it. Use Time Machine. and it will work. I think your main problem is, its not a external HD..

Well... Thats what I thought... But it seems to be able to do what I tell it to do... So meh.
I thought there was something strange about it. ^_^ Oh well...

What if I -did- use it as one? Would the world implode? Or it just won't do what I tell it to do? :3
