Hi,
I've bought on ebay a Buffalo LinkStation LS-C500L 3 weeks ago and I wanna change the HD which is too small for my usage!
I have bought a WD CaviarGreen 1.5To but it doesn't seems to work!
I explain : I open the NAS and put the new HD.
When I reboot the NAS, I've got a red LED (which is a normal boot as I don't have any FW on the HD).
After pressing the Function button, I don't get a blue LED (as I should have) but I can use TFTP Boot Recovery (which indicate that it has worked)
I only have a blue LED after using TFTP Boot recovery.
Then I start Buffalo LS-CL Updater Ver 1.07 in debug mode, try to change some options but no way...i still get an error message during formatting : Failed to formatting. (ACP_STATE_FAILURE) Updating is aborted.
I try on a Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Seven PC...same problem! I've got the same issue on my MacBook Pro....
I even try to Update the NAS in Windows Safe Mode with network....
Does someone has already have make it works with this Western Digital CaviarGreen HardDrive? Do I need to buy another HardDrive?
I don't know what to do to make it works! I even made a low format on the HD (it takes about 9 hours...)
Sorry for my poor english level but I'm French ^^
Thx in advance,
Rgds

You need to try the Force Firmware Procedure with the box check for rebuild partition table. Make sure you do that after you TFTP.
Hi, Thanks for your answer. I already try the Force Firmware Procedure with the box check for rebuild partition table after a TFTP methode but without success. I don't know what to do with this hard drive. I will try this afternoon to get another HardDrive (a Samsung EcoGreen 1To) to test.
Well, I try with a Samsung EcoGreen 1To and it works perfectly!
I think the problem is my Western Digital CaviarGreen 1.5To is not compatible....:smileysad:
Do you know if someone had successfully make it work with this HardDrive?
From what Ive seen they can only handle 1tb drives.
Hmmm...So no way to make it work? Even with another firmware?
Because I've seen that there is a Buffalo Linkstation with a 1.5To and 2To...
