[QUOTE="brycimus, post: 1095717, member: 64965"] I have a 250GB Westernal Digital Passport. It's titled "supernova" so i'll refer to it that way from now on. This summer I started using time machine on it. So there's the time machine folder on it and then a folder where I keep movies and tv shows. Yesterday I went into the time machine folder and deleted some of my old backups (I read somewhere you could just delete the folders). Today I got an error message from time machine saying "Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk is not available." Then I went looking in supernova and found that my videos folder was missing. So tried to repair it with Disk Utility but also got an error message saying the drive could not be unmounted (happens every time). After I try repairing it the videos folder comes back up but there are no files in it. When I "get info" on supernova it says there is only 37 gigs free, which leads me to believe that all of my videos are still on there. I could care less about salvaging my time machine backups, but I obviously don't want to loose my movies. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks [/QUOTE]
