Title: LS-CHL - stuck checking disk?
Post by: G8RStation on February 04, 2010, 02:52:25 PM
   

My new LS-CHL 1.0TB is having trouble. It's stuck checking the disk after a formatting operation that lasted several days before being interrupted by a power failure.  It's giving me the I21 code of flashing amber lights, meaning that it's checking its disk. On NASNavigator 2.0, the unit shows up as LS-CHL0EF.

 

I can't seem to stop it.  I've tried resetting factory defaults using the function button, and I've even flashed the firmware to 1.21 from 1.10. Every time I reboot it, it just starts checking the disk again.

 

Is this meant to happen? Do I just have to be more patient (how long should I wait?), or is there something I can do to hurry things along a bit?

 

I'm accessing the unit from a Windows 7 and from XP. It's the same on both.

I should have added that the web browser just shows this message:
 Checking/Formatting Disk...

All features are disabled until the disk is completely checked/formatted. Also, file sharing is not available.

... and offers me a refresh button, but the display never changes.  At least when it was formatting the disk it would have a guess at how many minutes I was going to have to wait.

It just stopped in the end.  All working now

Yeah the disk check can take a day or two to complete.  I have even seen it take 3 days before.  You just need to let it go through.  Glad to hear it's back up and working.
