Thank you for reminding me. However, Disk Utility can't (or won't) mount it or even acknowledge it. I can't copy it to any of the Macs in the house, and I can't open it (now I get "no readable file system"). If I could delete it, I could start over - it would not be a big deal in this case. But I also suspect something with the Time Capsule disk - any suggestions for how to repair this? Thank you!!
