[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1523014, member: 38864"] Run Disk Utility. What does it say about the drive? Any partitions? How are they formatted? Can you post a screen cap? See link below for guide on how to take screen shots in OS X. [url=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/screencapturemac/ht/macscreenshot.htm]Capture a Screen Shot with Mac OS X[/url] Using Time Machine requires an HFS+ formatted drive, so there's simply no realistic chance the Mac is just failing to see it for some reason. HFS+ is OS X's native file system. Best guess is the drive has failed, or somehow you removed the partition. [/QUOTE]
