Title: Flashing Red Lights and no access
Post by: BB-Group on June 27, 2010, 04:31:48 PM

I have searched the forum and found the following question asked a lot, but all answers were inconclusive.

Please forgive me for trying again.

STATS

Buffalo TeraStation

Model HD-H1.0TGL/R5

SN 45801061204580

Firmware 1.12

Network: WinXP peer to peer

On bootup I get 4 flashing red lights.

They flash continually - short flashes

The DIAG light flashes once every 8 flashes or so of the red lights.

The drive is not accessable.

Does anyone know if this indicates a dead TeraStation? It's about 4 years old.

Can the data be recovered? (Most of it is backed up).

Any ideas would be most welcome.

I would suggest trying the Force Firmware procedure listed on the forums. It sounds like you are getting the "failed to load kernel" error.
