boot a TS5200 with 2 clean HDD?
« on: March 05, 2014, 12:05:34 PM »
Hello,
My two HDD are broken, same time (seems to be a logical error, on a raid 1, mirrored)
i bought two news HDD, but impossible to boot the terastation...

Impossible to find a 5200 iso (i only found a 5400 one on this forum)

Buffalo support... doesn't support a lot :-(

so... does anyone know how i can boot my terastation now?

Thanks a lot

Should be able to make a boot image from my 5200 if you want. Will take a day or two though.
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.
Having network issues? Drop me an email: info@interwebnetworks.com and we will get it fixed!

Hey,

I'm in a similar situation.  Does anyone have this file accessible?

It would be much appreciated.

I also am in need of a boot image for a 5200.  A TS5200D0602 to be more precise.

Any help would be much appreciated.

As Davo had mentioned, you can make one from a bootable TS5x00.

Pic attached.

Understood, unfortunatly, I do not have a working unit to do this with, as my drive1 has died.  I did find a iso for a 5400 online, but I am assuming I need a model specific one?

No. an initialization USB drive will reimage any TS5x000. For those of you with data you are worried about, don't do this without a backup. (See my signature)

I can get the image from mine again if you want, might take a day or two though, bit busy at the moment.
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.

You can download an image from the Buffalo website. Check the downloads page for your model under utilities.

The update file from the website didn’t work for me. It says “update failed” all the time. Can you reup the image?
