[QUOTE="moonandtree, post: 1423953, member: 52125"] I hadn't - I didn't even know Disk Utility existed until a few days ago and I am afraid of screwing something up. But I did this morning and this is the message I got: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files. I've been using this hard drive to back up my mac using Time Machine, so if I have to back up this hard drive before repairing it, can I somehow do it with a PC? [/QUOTE]
