Hey guys

I have had some problems with my MBP, so I have made a complete Time Machine Backup on an external hard disk which has 3 partitions on it (2x Mac OS Extended journaled and 1x MS-DOS FAT). After I had erased my build in hd and reinstalled OS X i want to copy the data from the backup partition on my main hd. But it just showed the other two partitions up (but not the backup partition). I opened the Disk Utility and after a really long loading time (when I open Disk Utility while the external hd is not plugged it opens instantly). It showed the external hd with all three partitions but the backup one was light gray. I tried the first aid function but with no success.

Does anyone has an idea how I can fix this problem or get my data back?
