I am wasted on this site. lol. OK. full methodology for removing this problem.
boot your linkstation in EM mode by booting up while the front button is depressed.
If you havent got it installed. get the NAS Navigator installed on your PC. Interrogate this to get the details you need for the rest of this. Download the respective Firmware Update for your NAS.
Disable firewall and AV software as well as any anti spyware to be safe.
Unpack and run the Firmware Update Software.
Go and make your self a caffine based hot beverage
Take Vallium
Wait some more.
make more coffee.
Become a master of origami snowballs.
Check to see if it was successful. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES Do not turn off the link station. it will flash orange 2 long 5 short then flash blue for quite a while.
GL in your quest. Takes a bow *thats how you post a solution*
