Weird problem here. I have a Linkstation Pro LS-GL F/W 1.11 (250 GB).
It's worked fine for 2+ years now.
While emptying the trashbox, I got an error, which I didn't take note of. Since then the internal drive of my Linkstation Pro has been inaccessible. It's not a network issue as I've rebooted everything and the two connected USB drives are still available. NAS Navigator can see all three drives, and it correctly shows the internal drive as being 80% full. I can connect to the unit via the web interface too. The only problem I have (and it's a big one) is that I cannot map the internal drive any more. The network share shows up when browsing for it, but when I try to map it, it tells me the drive's network path cannot be found. If I try to ftp into the drive, it tells me there are no files in disk1, which should not be the case.
Could it be that the drive itself experienced an old-fashioned crash, while the networking capability of the LS Pro is still running fine? Some Googling yielded that a new firmware 1.47 fixed this type of issue for someone, but I cannot find anything above 1.11. Further, I've read that there's a NAS Navigator v2 out there somewhere, but again I cannot find later than 1.2, which I have.
There are some data that I would rather recover than re-create from source. Any help greatly appreciated.
