I have had a power trip and my TM disk is corrupt, the OS doesn't mount it initially and then says Disk Utility is unable to repair the drive, copy off as much as you can and then re-format the drive (something along those lines! Not at the mac at the moment, will put the correct message up later).
I've retried repairing the disk, this fails, I just get given a read only disk with no ownership. I've tried all sorts to get the disk off and everything has failed so far, I'm after some suggestions on how I could get it off.
I've tried to simply move it and finder says you need ownership of the source volume. I've tried using iArchive to create a zip file on the other disk, iArhive crashes. I've tried goodsync to sync it across, goodsync won't sync without analysing first and analysing runs out of memory!! I tried to FTP it and FTP doesn't like moving the files, is there any simple way of avoiding the ownership issues? Note, I can't set the ignore ownership setting through info as I don't have appropriate permissions (it's not available for that disk anyway).
Thanks!
