I recently installed osx 10.5 using a prepatched dvd.
Everything works fine except 'time machine' The time machine application opens just fine, it all looks realy nice. But when I open de timemachine tab in the control panel it gives me an error;
"backup volume could not be found"
Ive tried several disks, both internal and external (usb). All formatted in osx journaled format.

I've restored permissions a million times now.

Any suggestions on how to fix this.
