: Unable to get new drives seen by the Linkstation
: SteveC00k October 22, 2017, 02:14:24 AM

LinkStation Pro Duo - LS-W1.0TGL/R1
I have tried everything to get these drives to work
They are RED Western Digital NAS drives. 2TB They are brand new and I checked them against windows and they work fine.
All I get is the flashing 6 that means the station does not recognize the drive.
I need someone to help me get this up and running otherwise I will dump this box and go with a different brand that does not give me trouble.

You need the boot image to install the OS onto the new disks, the original OS would have been on the old disks and if you remove them the unit has nothing to boot from.
