As far as im aware you cannot use the power saving mode while the DS it connected to the LS (it can only be used when connected directly to a PC)

 

Regarding the partition, has been said many time before, the LS cannot read NTFS based file systems, it has to be in XFS or EXT3 (or FAT32 for read only)

PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.

The Linkstation will not be able to access multiple partitions on an attached USB drive, it will likely only see the first partition.
