HS-DH320GL won't recognize disk
« on: August 23, 2009, 06:56:02 PM »
   

Hi all,

 

I read several articles and solutions 2 fix my drive but they don't work.

 

Whats the problem:

When i turn on my HS-DH320GL the error led blinks 6 times ( so it can't recognize the disk.. )

I fully resetted it by pressing the reset button for 20 seconds.

 

What did i do:

Well i did several things to (tryy) fixing the drive, first i carefully read the forum posts about installing en updating the firmware. 

I also opened the case , got the drive out and formatted in windows 2 ntfs.. then i put it back into the case.

After i re-assembled the LS, i connected an cross cable and gave the networkcontroller  the ip range mentioned on this forum ( 192.168.11.1 because the ip should be 192.168.11.150)

 

Then i started the nas navigator and it still can't find the LS, I used tftp, didn't work at all, and the forced updates can't find the disk 2.... so could one of you guys help me out? What do i need 2 do?

 

Do i need to format de disk into another format?(FAT32, XFS?)..

 

Thanks in advance!

The device is made to be in xfs, not ntfs.  That will not work with our firmware.

Ok , I formatted it with the Gparted LIVE CD , formatted the disk as a XFS disk.

But when I rebooted the LS ( after assembling it again with the hdd) it still gives me the 6 time-blinking red LED.... What is the next step ??

You do not need to get it in EM mode before the TFTP.  If EM mode works then it is pointless to do the TFTP, just update the firmware.

SOLVED :-D I tried the debug mode where i activated the format option! It now works and can be found my the NAS NAvigator!

But is it normal that the disk is getting very warm ? :-P 

 

Thanks for the pointers!
