Ok, I reformatted the drive with one partition (mbr) and dowloaded the file ls_series-v174. I extracted the updater files as well as the ulmage and initrd files and the had the buffalo extension on them. These I copied to the blank drive to the root directory. Plugged the drive back into the NAS housing, connected the network cable and power. I got a flashing blue light which after a bit turned into an E06. I also tried holding the function button while rebooting it, release it and held it again. Then it went flashing blue, one red flash then flashing blue for hours. I tried running both the LSUpdater and the NAS NAVi program and they never see a drive that needs updating.
I never saw how to put the unit in debug mode unless I have to type that line in manually
What am I missing?
Thanks
