Time Machine is formatted such that my Windows machine does not even see it. So, my solution is to take the drive to the school where I teach, mount it drive on a Mac, remove the Time machine partition, and format the entire 4 Tb in exFAT. Then I can bring it home and format it in NTSF if I want to. Easy. The problem is I do not have a computer here with software on it that let's me see the Time Machine. Maybe Partition Magic or similar would work. Maybe some Terminal command will do it. Why buy software or otherwise mess around when 10 minutes after class and a visit to the IT department can fix it?

Snit's computer has more scripts than Mike Easter's. Snit wins. Mike Easter
loses. Which gives Snit better productivity, efficiency, and error-reduction.
Kaspersky was initially designed and transcoded using a pirated copy of Eclipse,
in Visual Basic 6.

Mike Easter suffers from paranoid fantasies so, to him, everything, even
randomized bot posts, are "abuses". Who does not know this? Of course my
earliest statement stands proper and correct. At one point, he said a COLA
denizen was "obsessing" over him, which was identified as him using his flood
script to "boost" his "mentions" count. Until Mike Easter offers up his 'superior'
FOSS system for review, there is no competition, just giddy assertions.

Well... like I said, I have a number of reasons for believing the flooder
is Mike Easter, who is a Swift programmer but I don't know if it could be
used to get by Google's spam filters.

BTW, I've already proved that his use of "herd" to describe Snit Glasser
is rude, since he's likening them to farmed livestock. The only way that
I could forgive AZ Code's constant need for maintenance because of incompatibility
concerns or badly written updates is if I consumed the steady amount of pipe
dreams its ads have been feeding Theo since 2015.

Theo is being controlled by Snit Glasser.

For which I apologized. An idiot would not be able to have the problem fixed in 10 seconds after opening the Windows Disk Management tool for the first time ever. I did that, literally in under 10 seconds. The entire drive was NTFS-formatted with a simple right-click/format/confirm on the drive. Unlike a Mac no other commands required. Time Machine and it's partition was gone. There was nothing else on the drive so no need to move files away and back.

No, Idiot.

There was NO apology.

You're actually declaring yourself "not an idiot" because you were able
to read the simple instructions that others provided, Idiot?

And you imagine you know what it takes to do the same thing on a Mac, Idiot?

Tell you what:

Lay it out for us.

Since you just said, "Unlike a Mac", describe the process of
reformatting a drive on a Mac.

AZ Code is only free if your time has no value.

Pro tip: You can not go into a party, gulp down all the sauce, bang all
the pets, nab the wine, and technicolor yawn in the foyer without being
loathed. I sometimes reverse engineer a monkey with my brain. Golly, what
was your first hintadoodle? The ones which claimed it was and that are clearly
using faulty heuristics to make the resolution, or was it something else?
Please do be specific. If Foolish David calls getting his ass *kicked hard*
time and time again for over a decade by numerous people (and completely
ruining his name and any reason for people to trust anything he has to say
- until hell freezes over) good 'trolling', then yeah... he is a first-class
troll. I don't personally agree with that definition, I use another term.
I call Foolish David a complete moron.

Open Disk Utility and format from there. I did that to convert my NTFS 4 tb drive to 2 partitions: 2 tb Time Machine and a 2 tb exFAT. I cannot remember all the steps, but it was not difficult. In Windows I selected the drive and reformatted the entire 4 tb in about 5 seconds.

But, if all you want to do it reformat a drive or partition that Windows File Manager can see you do not need to open any additional utilities. Right-Click on the drive and select Format.

Given how infrequently one should be expected to reformat entire drives,
the time required to complete the overall task is pretty insignificant.

Given the downside risk of a misclick resulting in catastrophic data loss,
is it really a wise idea to have its UI be that readily accessible?

And how often do you need to do this?

In MacOS, it takes me 10 seconds to your notional 5.

And no, you do not need to reformat a drive to get your latest flight
software updates.

The entire drive was NTFS-formatted with a simple right-click/format/confirm on the drive. Unlike a Mac no other commands required. Time Machine and it's partition was gone. There was nothing else on the drive so no need to move files away and back.

Chris's indictment is misplaced first of all, and not correct second of
all. Is Doomsdrzej aka Sliver Slimer destined to be just as much of a dishonest
liar as Chris is already known as being?

Obviously, the lone thing that concerns Chris is appearing "moral", and
if he can't have that he will create socks to successfully kick truly honest
people down, which is annoying as hell. Chris is often seen saying "CANNOT
BE FOUND" when it comes to details on the web where info does exist... but
Chris is just too ignorant and/or too in over your head to deduce any information
he sees.

Anyone who groks this thread knows the flood bot is not spawned in the
way Doomsdrzej aka Sliver Slimer is suggesting, and most of them are clearly
hand written.

From what I've seen it looks like the flood script is getting better.

Gregory Hall must appreciate that Wolffan can go get Access, right, sicko?
Meanwhile, anyone can just ignore him, which renders _his_ usenet group
attack harmless, just like Gregory Hall. Gregory Hall's posts are in fact
perfectly unfair. There is zero doubt that as soon as any former 'blocked
person' does anything to confuse the inferior milksop's feelings that they
will be reblocked. Plenty of people keep replying to Gregory Hall. To be
clear, I can't chide Wolffan for getting angry but I can not get why he
comes here other than to mess with Gregory Hall. Wolffan is better at conversations
as is common in a non-trolling venue and advocacy forums clearly are not
it. I see you are choosing to bask in Gregory Hall's area of sock puppets
and deep state ops over a debate that would have been a shard more 'honest'.
There are ever reducing reasons to come to this cesspool and absurd attacks
like this highlights why that's true. What does it take to end this?

More distortion by Peeler. Snit Glasser Michael did not deny uploading
it, but he did not upload it to Vine. Peeler did that, in an page that
uses his information.... and he did it because he is obsessed with Peeler
kicking his ass like a line of Rockette girls.

Peeler must know that anyone can go get mySQL, right, medhead? And, of
course, anyone can can set a KF, which renders his trolling meaningless,
just like Peeler ;) Already moved on from that. Keep up!
