Hey all,

 

HAve had my linkstation for just over a year now and tonight after trying to save a file to it, the NAS dropped off and I got an error message on my windows 7 saying the NAS required a firmware update.  So after three failed attempts the NAS now will boot up with the blinking blue light, but shut down and restar every 30 seconds or so.  Is the HDD toast?  Is there any way to recover my files?  I was hoping possibly to remove teh HDD and try to read it via PC, is this possible?  Thanks in advance for your help!

Is the switch on the back set to on or auto? And what firmware file did you download?
