Here's a way to handle that situation. It doesn't check the actual Time Capsule drive itself but checks the disk image file that contains the backup:1. Open your Time Capsule and look in the backups folder.2. You should see a disk image with the same name as your backups (probably the name of your computer).3. Double click that file and let it open.  Depending upon the size of the file this may take some time If you have the Finder set to show external hard drives on the Desktop the disk image will appear as a hard drive. 4. Launch Disk Utility and use Disk First Aid to check that "phantom drive".</blockquote>
