Hi,
My Time Capsule (tower model) will not show up in the finder and AirPort Utility shows the error "Internal Disk Needs Repair".
I've tried all three resets (soft, hard and factory) and also accessing the disk through the Finder Go menu.
Unfortunately none of these has worked.
I could hear the hard disk spinning when I did the factory reset but my hopes were quickly dashed.
Any help would be much appreciated

Sorry but it is broken.. return to apple for warranty replacement.
I should add the issue could require an erase of the hard disk.. but if it is in warranty then take it back.
In airport utility.. click on the TC icon.. click on edit.. go to the disk tab.
Select erase.. and do a quick erase to begin with.. if that works which I doubt.. do a Zero Out Data.. which = one pass erase which = a low level format of the disk. Never ever use 7 or 35 pass erase. They are ridiculous. If the one pass erase works it will take half a day.. figure out how long a 35 pass takes.
