Does time machine NOT like partitioned drives? I have a 1TB drive partitioned equally to 3 drives. I used to use CCC or Super Duper but decided to try time machine. After about 6GB transfered, it locks up the pro and have to press the power button to kill it. Tried to go back and use the other backup software (after an erase) but nope, same lock up. Am using 10.2, 8gigs memory. Stumped on this one. BTW, the drive is internal (4th bay) and leopard is in the 1st bay. Suggestions?

It's supposed to work with partitioned drives. The only note I've read on the subject is that it does not like MBR (DOS) partitioned drives.
