I have been trying to run Time Machine to an external Maxtor HD.
I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.1.
After repeated efforts, I finally found a note that said the drive must be partitioned properly in addition to being formated. So I did that and thought I had solved my problem. The next attempt to run Time Machine proved to hang at about 90% completion.
Disk Utility says it can still see the partition, but Time Machine can't find a storage location. It wants to setup over again, but when I try that it doesn't see the drive.
This is becoming more hassle than its worth. I might have to think about finding a different backup software. Any suggestions.
