Title: Linkstation Pro Duo - New drives
Post by: Raider_007 on January 17, 2013, 03:26:48 AM

Hi guys please help!!! I have just received my new Linkstation Pro Duo (LS-WVL) and what I wanted to do was change it to Raid 1. I don't know what I was thinking but I formatted the volume using the units web console. I then realised I should not have done that and switched it off. I ended up with a degraded array. I could not set it to Raid 1. I then thought I should take the drives out and remove all partitions from the drives and put them back in and start again. Now I can't access the web console! NAS Navigaotr 2 also does not pick up the unit.

 

I read the forums and there are talks about "TFTP Procedures" etc. But it's all very confusing, the posts are also very dated and the links also don't work no longer.

Please help me. How can I get the unit back up and running?

Use this link for the TFTP image:

And follow FAQ 3 of 5 in the storage section, if you have any specific questions then ask.
