[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1180511, member: 131855"] If there is nothing else on the drive that you want formatting the drive and going back through the setup procedure to designate it a Time Machine drive should work. Before you do that though have you tried checking the drive for errors using Disk Utility? Unplugging without ejecting can cause directory damage and resulting unusual behavior but Disk Utility can sometimes repair it without reformatting. [/QUOTE]
