I just cannot figure this out. Tried two different HDDs - one internal, one external. Both Seagate HDDs, originally windows drives, but erased/re-partioned using the GUID partition table and HFS+ Extended Journaled.

 

I partitioned them multiple times, tried and retried. Created 2 partitions, then erased, then one, always setting to GUID HFS+.

 

Everytime I go to Time Machine to backup, it takes litterally a second, and then just says "BACKUP FAILED" with no explanation. GRRR....

 

Please help!!

 

(leopard 10.5.2, zeph's amd release if that matters).
