TM backups, Macdrive

encountered this problem recently. accidentally unplug my time machine disk without clicking eject, as a result my hard disk got corrupted. leopard is unable to detect my disk and i had to use windows to detect it, download macdrive trial, and format it from there. thinking everything is now fine, i used time machine to do a full 80gb backup, which failed for goodness noes wad reason. so i excluded folder by folder, and soon realise the music folder is the culprit. a full backup can be done by excluding tat folder. so i backup my music to my ipod , delete the entire folder, and did a full backup without excluding any thing. it worked! and i simply used Senuti to restore the music back to my macbook and time machine is now able to back tat up already.
