"You may have difficulty booting from this target volume, the underlying disk is not formatted with a partitioning scheme that Apple recommends for Intel Macs. See the "Getting Started with CCC" section of the CCC documentation for more information."

Should I be worried or can I just ignore this?

My hard drive has three partitions: 1 time machine, 1 ccc (HFS+ journaled), 1 FAT drive.

What does it say at Disk Utility > Partition Map Scheme?

Disk Utility>Partition

Set partition scheme to "1 partition" and then click on "Options" and click "GUID Partition Table" and then ok and then Apply.

Yep thanks for the help, I just repartitioned it and cloned my drive.

One other problem; why is time machine oh so slow?! I ended up stopping the backup because it probably would have taken four times longer.

Yeah, Time Machine is pretty slow. Best to let it do the original backup overnight 🙂
