Hi
I have encountered these problems after about 6mths of using my Linkstation Pro Duo LS-WTGL/R1 running this firmware 1.09.
i dont run a RAID or anything just as 2 seperated 1TB drives.
i run it straight off a router, normal/simple computer network setup. running windows 7
my predicament:
when i booted up my system the number 1 LED flashed red 1-long 6-short.....i narrowed this down from the manual to "Hard drive cannot be recognised" even though i hadnt changed the settings, it ran fine the day before. It was HDD number 1.
I turned it off, then on, it then became recognised on my network, it ran fine for approx 5mins then automaticaly turned itself off.
so i then unplugged HDD number 1, turned it on....same situation.
Then turned it off, plugged the first HDD back in...
Now i get the Number 1 LED flashing orange, what seems to be, 2-long 1-short or it could be 3-long, not quite sure to be honest.
I can read-write to both HDDs, i have done a Disk Check, everything passed.
Im afraid that it might happen again, and i cant find what 3 orange flashes mean anywhere. (the manual isnt very specific)
If anyone can shed some light onto my situation it would be great
cheers
3 flashes denotes that there is a problem with the hard drive, if the drive removal did not work it sounds like a problem within the RAID
even if i dont run a RAID?
If that is the case, you tried to boot the unit with only drive 1 in, than only drive 2 correct? If there is still a problem it lies deeper within.
