Q: Stuck in disk repair

HI all.

I Accidentally interrupted a Time Machine backup to an external hard drive (500gb Seagate) on my old 2006 white 80g MacBook. The external hard drive wouldn't show up. So I did a verify and repair disk in the disk utility.

 

the disk utility ran and says:

 

Verify and Repair volume "time machine backups"

Volume repair complete

Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.

 

it is currently stuck there after about an hour. The progress bar has been doing the moving lines thing to show its doing something but I can see progress. It is very important that I keep the information on the hard drive intact. What should I do?

 

thank you!
