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!!
