I have set up Go Flex Home over Extreme network. It was to be able to format it into mac and pc . But whenever I click on the Mac, it opens Utility and doesn't find the Go Flex disk there, even they are seen on my Finder sidebar as shared disks. After applying the firmware update and Time Machine saw the Go Flex,. The problem is that when I selected "Go Flex Home Backup" and clicked "Use for Backup, “ and it shows me that Time Machine can't access the backup disk "Go Flex Home Backup.? It will be glad if anyone helps to me?
