I have a TS1200D0802 where both drives seem to be bad/corrupt. After replacing both drives with brand new drives, I can hear them spin up, but the NAS is in Emergency Mode. Both NAS Navigator 2 and the TS Firmware Updater utility see the device on the network and I've tried re-initalizing the entire unit with a new firmware by adding the following lines to the tsupdater.ini file:
[Flags]
VersionCheck = 0
NoFormatting = 0
[SpecialFlags]
Debug = 1
I get a message "Partition not detected, the target will be formatted" and I select "yes" to continue, but then I receive the message "Format Failed. Update Aborted".
Granted, the instructions I found to modify the ini file seemed to be for a LinkStation, not a TeraSTation, but I couldn't find a recovery procedure for the TS series.
Anyone have any advice? I'm not attempting to recover any data, I just want to start over with these fresh drives and the latest firmware. I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
