hi thanks for reading.

my problem is; my itunes music (among other stuff) was stored on an external drive. and backed up to an other external drive with time machine.

the itunes drive has now died so i want to recover my music and put it on new drive that i have.

but because the old drive dose not show up in finder (as it is dead) it also dose not show up in time machine.

I cant see any way of searching time machine for all the music. i tried using the searching bar (while in the actual drive) but it comes up with nothing. But if i manually go through the drive i can find the music.... very very slowly as i have to one every folder created to find the ones that actually contain the backups.

any advice?

thanks for your time
