I would prefer to get time machine up and running that way I could back up everything that I have running right now stable right now with out having to reinstall if something goes wrong, such as an update or etc. Right now if I select a drive, partitioned to HSF+, external or internal doesn't matter, it will start to back up/run time machine but then about 10 second into it it will come back with an error saying that it cant find the designated drive even though it is mounted and works fine. I have tried USB, firewire, internal sata, and internal ide, nothing seems to be working right. Any ideas? Thanks again for your EXCELENT HELP!!!
