Tried searching for my problem, but found nothing..

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. There's two problems:

1. Before upgrading I had stored some files on the time machine partition of my external hard drive, just by dragging them into the time machine drive. Perhaps this was a mistake, because now when I plug in time machine the drive does not show either on the desktop or in Finder, so I can't access it to get the files off. The regular partition for storage shows up fine.

2. This is probably related to the first problem. When I used to eject the regular storage partition, it would ask me if I wanted to eject all the partitions. Now, it doesn't ask, it just doesn't fully eject the hard drive and I have to disconnect it while still running, so I get the error message saying I shouldn't do that.

Any ideas?
Thanks
