While I love my Mac, it's not perfect. Earlier today, the drive I use for Time Machine developed some kind of problem - the mac simply didn't recognize it at all. Disk Manager saw it, but couldn't attempt a repair for reasons I couldn't fathom. I tried plugging it into Windows, and it was recognized and mounted (not in a readable form; it is a Mac formatted drive). Still - I figured maybe I could at least format it and then bring it back to the Mac, reformat it and run fsck on it.

Well, the Windows format faled, but when I tried it back on the Mac, Disk Utility found it, and was now able to do a repair - which is still running. Once that's done, we'll see what kind of shape it's in. Fairly disappointing that the Mac refused to see it right off though.
