Can Time Capsule back up a PC running Windows Vista?

Both of our family's MacBooks AND my wife's PC are able to use Time Capsule wireless signal with no problems.

The Macs are effortlessly backed up by the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

But even after installing Airport Utility onto the PC using the DVD/CD that came with the Time Capsule, the PC's Airport Utility can't find my Time Capsule. Page 18 of my little Time Capsule Setup Guide shows the PC being able to do this, so maybe something is wrong.

Is it possible for Time Capsule to automatically back up ALL our computers, both Mac and PC?

Thank you.

can I back up vista on a time capsule?

I have a Macbook and an iMac. For wireless I have an airport and an airport extreme. I want to add a Time Capsule because I want to have more coverage in another part of the house and to back up both machines. Im sorry to have to admit, but my wife has a Dell with Vista Home installed. Can she use the Time Capsule also with Vista?

Can I partition the HD

I have multiple computers (MacBook running 10.6, Laptop running Xp, Desktop running Vista and soon to come a iMac) so I need to partion the HD. Also, can Windows default back up to Time Capsule and if not is there alternative software.

Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive set up

I am trying to set up my Time Capsule as a wireless and or wired hard drive to be able to:

1. Stream movies and music to my Sony TV via my ITV.
2. Act as a hard drive that I can access from my HP laptop running Windows Vista.

What are the specific steps? I have been looking for hours online and have found nothing.

Can I attach a USB drive to Time Capsule to access music folders on a PC and Mac?

I know similar questions have been asked before but I wanted to describe my specific scenario before I purchase a TC.

I have a Mac and a PC on my home network, and the issue I keep running into is that it's hard to keep music up to date on both computers. If I put new music on one computer, I then have to hook up an external USB drive and transfer that music to the other one.

So my question is this: if I buy a Time Capsule, can I use the Time Capsule to wirelessly back up my Mac AND attach an external USB drive to the TC to access my music?

The idea would be to have the music only available on that external USB drive and "point" iTunes to that drive on both the Mac and PC. That way, both computers are accessing the same files and I don't have to update the folders between two different computers.
